Thanks for the note.
Now that I think of it , it probably wise for you to remove the name of your school from the user page. Ill let you do it. Cheers David Tribe 23:08, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
Hi Joshua. "kill two birds with one stone" is a 'proverbial saying'; a colloquialism is different, it is a written expression that tries to mimic the informal things we say in speaking - it's from colloquy meaning speaking together, and it includes slang and words that are misused. If you write that something is a no-brainer for example, you're using a colloquialism. (I'm looking here at the Chamers Dictionary of Etymology to confirm this.) Some novelists use colloquialisms extensively to generate atmosphere - don't know if you've read "Trainspotting" by Irvine Welsh, set in my home of Edinburgh; if you try you'll find it tough, because he writes almost wholly in Scots colloquialisms.

Editing the checklist
You should actually replace "last edited by" with ~~~~. The field isn't used to maintain a history.
Underlinked?
I notice that you classify a number of your articles as underlinked. This means that none of the expected links to the article are present. I realize that can be a bit of a judgement call, but I often wonder what is missing. Arer you aware that under "toolbox" you can click "What links here to" to see what links to your article?

- Josh, in reply to "Hey, do you have any questions for McKusick, the copyright holder of the BSD Daemon"
What all should we ask, other than what you've got over at Talk:BSD_Daemon? I suppose you could add to that
"Do you have a version of the image that is 'more freely licensed'? That would be more appropriate on a site such as Citizendium. Thanks"
