==Agree in principle but not in form== 
 Yes, you're right in the substance of your edits to remove the links on Eugene Sledge. You will see that I have added a comment to the effect that I agree with the substance of your edits. But I fail to see what purpose it serves to bite a newby so thoroughly. If you are moved to follow through with your threat to blacklist Sidney Phillips' personal website site I'd appreciate it if you let me know, since I have linked his site to his article.  Regards.
