Hoi,
What is it that scares youi? When you want to write about the subject that
you care about do. If it is popular good. That is all.
What scares me is that people define what others want to / need to know.
What is the propblem with providing what people are looking for? In the big
Wikipedias almost everything is there including pokemon, soccer and ice
hockey...
Thanks,
GerardM
