:::::::::::I'm fine with them. MF doesn't like the present participle, and you and I do, I guess. It's all a matter of taste, and who is to say who is right or wrong (Crystal again). It's what I like about WP in some ways: we are forced to accept that it's not our article and that other people get to edit it to their taste: and mostly they are making it better, I find.  At this point, I will just be happy for the FAC to be finished, and am prepared to jump through most hoops (though not all!!) to have it over. Perhaps you feel the same. Hopefully it will be soon!
