Topic Already Exists

Is there some reason that this topic needed to be created even though the divisor page already exists? I like nouns referring to objects better than ones referring to relationships, so my preference is that the main page be called divisor. However the cards fall, I think one of the pages must disappear.Barry R. Smith 19:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
