One thing about history and Wikipedia, is that we are supposed to let
historians write it. Really, if you are asking me personally to choose
between your version of history, and what you say is Jimbo's, I would
prefer a third-party, dispassionate account. So much for history. If
you also want to advocate for something else, relative to the Wikipedia
community, go ahead. This comment is so obviously policised and
personalised, that I'd prefer to keep a clear wall between it and the
"foundation myth".
