Thank you for this, too.
An environment where criticism is possible is necessary to us not
sucking. Fortunately, Wikipedia is pretty good at self-examination.
Jimbo's a very smart guy, but with Wikipedia I think he's finally
found a reliable way to meet lots of people who make him feel really
dumb by comparison ;-)
It surprises me when our odder critics claim Wikipedia is the
personality cult of Jimbo Wales. I really can't imagine L. Ron Hubbard
putting up with the crap Jimbo does ...
