Since everyone thinks that Wiki is chiseled in stone, why not go with the flow???

Me, I suspect that everyone is full of shit other than myself.

When it comes to myself, I KNOW that I'm full of shit.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The truth about Wiki is that almost anyone can "contribute" to an article. They claim to fact check "contributions" before publishing, but even that is subject to the bias of the "fact" checker.

When people tell me, "I know it's true, I ran it through Snopes." I always ask, "And who owns Snopes?"
