- Enjoyable article that proves I really need new glasses. Initially, my vision center interpreted it as "magnetocellular", and I wondered if you and Daniel had come up with a neuroimaging procedure that involved shaving the patient's head and sprinkling it with iron filings.

- - One of my papers had an error that I only just spotted in proof - the copy editors had changed magnocellular to magnetocellular in the title. You never check the title in proofs. As I found later when another paper had "Oxytoxin" in the title instead of "oxytocin". I missed that one for years:-)Gareth Leng 17:37, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- You clearly don't have the right sort of proofreaders. When finishing one of my books, the publisher insisted that the hand-marked galley pages must be returned in their entirety. To review, I carefully made a pile, on my dining table, of each chapter. My beloved editorial assistant of the time, Clifford (properly Clifford, Lord Chatterley), leaped effortlessly to the table, considered the work, and carefully deposited a hairball on each of two chapters.
- Informing my editor that if she really wanted those pages, I could arrange biologically safe shipping containers. She told me that she, as well, had feline editorial staff, understood the pages completely, and that I could just tell her if any changers were to be made on those pages.
- "Public key cryptography" is a perfectly valid technical term. Unfortunately, I got through an entire lecture before realizing I had written "pubic key" on the board, without a chastity belt in sight. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:58, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
