Post: RE: Papercutters rewrite !

Just as a note for reference, there's a little more to be added into the "Outside Macrystis" section, and the pictures are placeholders that are there to give the gist of what will be there. But gener... |

I can see that, yeah; it used to be an even greater mismatch when the article still said Tohul's oceans were discontinuous. Which is why it'd be useful to get them to match fully.
