Redirect suggestion: textbook.textpattern.net -> textpattern.net

I’ve been doing a bunch of wikignoming at textpattern.net for a project I’m working on, and somehow I got taken to textbook.textpattern.net. Before I figure out how I got there, it looks like textbook.textpattern.net and textpattern.net are the same site with the same content.

With that in mind, I’d like to suggest textbook.textpattern.net be redirected to textpattern.net via .htaccess. Having the exact same content on both sites will knock the search engine rankings down and dilute the message somewhat, among other things.

‘Think so, too.
This duplication is confusing, especially for people new to TXP.
And from SEO-perspective: it is double content for Google and Google doesn’t like double content.
