Somebody who makes rampant updates to so many of their nodes after posting might want to check for updates (actually noted as such) from others before replying or, horror, wait a few minutes.1 :)

1 I think it is unlikely that you started replying before my update was posted as I refreshed to see my update, then refreshed for other reasons and saw your node had been updated (with no notice) and you hadn't replied yet. So after my update you made your own update and then replied to my node based on a version from before your last update. But I give up trying to update/reply fast enough for you. I'll check back after a few hours and assume your node content won't expand several fold w/o comment (yes, I've seen that happen with your nodes more than once, as I've mentioned to you before) from that point and thus it might be safe to reply/update if any response is warranted. (:
