==Dreadlocks and vandals== 

 Hey. ) 

 You have so much on your plate, I hate to ask  but I value your opinion. 

 If/when you have an opportunity, would you please drop by dreadlocks?  is intent on using a photo which does not, unfortunately, illustrate the subject at hand. Further, he insists on deleting some text I wrote about the possible connection between Egyptian dreadlocks and the phenomenon in India. I'd like your take on the disputes. Thanks. I've also asked for 's input. 

 I've been meaning to drop by with a note of appreciation for your seemingly tireless work in keeping vandals and wackos at bay on various black-related articles.  What a crappy task.  I wouldn't have the patience.  So, here's a thank-you for your efforts.  I (and I know others) appreciate it.  A lot.  Peace. )
