[edit] Please remove all Valediction matter from this article

There is a separate article for it. Yours truly, --Ludvikus 13:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, especially since most material seems to be copied wholesale from the same. On a separate note, I don't feel this article is a stub, even with the removal of the valediction material, but if you disagree, please use {{vocab-stub}}. Thanks, Jeodesic 23:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
