That's hysterical. I suppose Wikipedia has some kind of alert system to tell people a document has been changed, so it is not like they watching in real time. Still, they need to get a life! This is why I say trying to reform Wikipedia is a waste of time. Anyway, the Internet is finite but unbounded so we can prevail without Wikipedia. We don't need to "win all the Internets" -- as the mod expression goes. We need a barrel of m-o-n-e-y for R&D. We don't need every mass media news outlet. I think there is more money coming in. I sense things are loosening up. The dam is starting to crack. Regarding that analogy, of a dam starting to break, I may have mentioned this here before . . . *Spoiler Alert* This clip from the movie "Force 10 From Navarone" shows how I hope things will work out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYur1sqnK4 This is the end of the movie, so it is a plot spoiler. - Jed
