    Ironically, our deleter also removed the link to Matt Newsome's site.

    At which point I have to start thinking that this "deleter" has some agenda other than wiki-housekeeping.

    So a big Xsmarks "braveheart salute" to Bridies wherever he/she/it might be!

    Are you sure the name is "Bridies" and not "Britches"?

    The history of changes to this page can be found at

    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...action=history

    The list shows who changed the page, and when, and confirms that it was "Bridies" who most recently removed x marks the scot.

    Just an idea

    What if an xmarks link was submitted to the wiki (link police?) to one of the sub pages on Xmarks - like the Kiltmaker Forum or such? IOW, try getting one to stick that is more 'encyclopedic' than "social"? If a wiki reader follows that such link, they could navigate themselves where ever else they saw and wanted to go - once here, albeit from the 'encyclopedic'-esque link?

    Toads.
