Typo it would be good to fix
I have just noticed that in the forums drop down list the heading of the Finishing and Restoration box has a mis-spelling of "Resoration" i.e. missing the "t"
The forum itself has the correct spelling, it is just the drop-down list.
Maybe an admin or someone else who can edit the lists would like to fix that sometime?

Might be a deliberate "error" to trap copyright violations, although I'm not sure how it would work here. Tricks like this are used elsewhere.

Well done David. Only taken around 3 years for anyone to pick that one up or at least bring it up.

It is well-known amongst proof-readers that the easiest mistakes to miss are in headings because we all take them for granted. Yes, Kyrn, I have a strong pedantic streak, it's true - being a scientist and writing papers that are peer-reviewed makes one very careful about such things. Some such reviewers have been known to can a paper because of typos - now they are truly pedantic IMHO.The fact that it took me 3 years to notice shows how rusty my skills are now that I no longer publish such things.
