Of course.  You are free to modify all the material I have posted: either by
adding content, correcting the content, correcting the orthography,
correcting the links, adding or suppressing links, or doing over again.

The idea is that everething you do is for all us to consult, so you keep
improving things when you can.

Content that I produce and I don't want other people to mess with, I will
publish it on my personal web site.  Content that I plublish on a wiki, I
accept that it will be improved by others (and that some times that
improving might mean deleting)
