All taken care of Daniel, no worries. :-)
Apologies accepted.
By the way, the license is CC-BY, without the SA. There is no license note on the article as published on libervis (because it is of course not required as long as my name is somewhere near it).
If anyone wants to get the (identical) CC-BY version, it is here: http://inatie.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/money-for-service-and...

Thanks a lot Scott.
Yeah, my bad (again), it's CC-BY. Heh and you just said that in IRC!
Thanks guys!

Now if it happens again, we get to flog you..
LOL!!

Hehe, sure. :)
I saw the topic of the thread, but didn't read it right. I saw "By Taco Butternuts".
About four times, in fact.
It's been a rough day.

Heh, butternuts... I might use that as an alias! ... although, maybe not, since it could be read as something else than what you will find in wikipedia.
'Buitenhuis' is dutch for outhouse if i am not mistaken. Odd for a last name. :-)
> Odd for a last name. :-)
Not after a couple of the taco's I've had. Well, more likely the burritos.

Dutch is more weird than that.
In modern Dutch, 'buitenhuis' means 'house outside the city'. I'm told in old Dutch it means something like 'of the exchanged house'. 'Taco' apparently derived from 'Diederik' (I too have trouble believing that, but all the name books say so), which means 'king of the people' (not sure how to interpret that... maybe 'popular leader'?).
Obviously Mexican food was not yet popular over here when I was born.
There are much crazier Dutch last names than your misinterpretation of my name. Really obscene ones. I'm not going to give any examples since I'm sure you guys will ask me for translations, and I'd like to keep my account and good reputation :) .

If push comes to shove, you can always quote passages from the "Baantjer" books ;-)

Anyway, the article was written by Taco Buitenhuis and saying anything else is a violation of his license (CC-BY-SA), by me of course, which is why I'm posting this.
If anyone could correct it, please do.
Much appreciated. Thanks.
