[Pat Palmer]

Unless this person is using a dial-up phone line from the remotest place on
earth, just invite him to seek author status at Citizendium and make his own
contribution directly in our wiki according to our rules of decorum.
Stressing of course that we really hope he will join and contribute, and
that we value his input etc.

> Possibilities:

> Reject Marc's article on the grounds that we do not in general consider
