Hello :-) I just wanted to thank you for your work on the history of psychology article. Well done. I also like your "Classics" site. --Heida Maria 11:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm always happy to talk to another who has been touched by his noodly appendage. Are you a pirate? :-) If you don't mind, please acknowledge this message when you receive it. I've never used User Talk before and I don't know if I am doing it right. Best, Christopherdgreen 03:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi again :) It's best to answer people's comments on their own sites (my user page in this case), then they get notified of it. And yes, I'm an aspiring pirate! P-)

I began the article on Town Ball. I notice that a sentence has been inserted saying David Block has "proven" Chadwick's Rounders assertion to be false. I would not use the word proven here, since in 1905 Spalding proved that baseball did not come from Rounders; in 1939 Henderson proved that baseball did come from rounders; in 2005 Block proved that it did not come from rounders. I think that discussion is better suited to the Origins of Baseball page, since this page is neither about rounders nor about baseball. Can we downgrade "proven" into something less dogmatic?
