[edit] Dartitis

Think that this should be renamed - dartitis is not encyclopedic as it is a joketerm (-itis meaning infection in true medical terminology) - is this section just a joke?

Also how would having six toes meant he had better balance?

All pub-medicine in my opinion

[edit] Dartitis

Could be best thought of as a colloquial term to discribe something akin to "the [yips]" - frequently used in golf to discribe a condition that makes some golfers unable to appropriately complete a golf stroke. Dart players discribing "dartitis" explain the problem in the same way golfers discribe "the yips".

Maybe this explaination could be added to the article.

I'm not sure that the "six toes" issue adds anything to the article.

[edit] Personal life

Sounds like quite a character so we need some info on his personal life. I'd write it myself but know nothing about the man!--Edchilvers 16:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
