Who was that?
Me, as I said. He asked if Wikipedia could be sued. I said that as a
US organisation it wasn't affected by UK injunctions, though UK based
editors were, but that we didn't put stuff in if it wasn't really well
referenced anyway.
As I said, he picked a few sentences out of half an hour's careful
explanation. Possibly I should have just told him to bugger off, but
that doesn't generally work out well except when they're well known to
be an arsehole.
