Another reason not to say the p-word: It will invoke the wrath of
Jimmy Wales for using "porn" and "Wikipedia" in the same e-mail.
Bjarte, my suggestion is to add a reverse-filter so that all e-mails
from Wikipedia-l are safe.
Anyhow back to my point. Wikipedia is somehow related to Bomis
historically, right? This is a well-established fact, no? It says it
pretty much everywhere.
Jimbo himself admits that Bomis deals in porn (although it accounts
for less than 10% of their revenue), and people who are having
troubles finding the actual porn as opposed to just the Babe Report
are advised to go to
http://premium.bomis.com (a pay site).
Thus, I don't see where he gets the idea that the things people are
saying are wrong. And why did he just say "you're wrong" instead of
explaining, even after Ant asked him for an explanation? He has sent
me increasingly rude private e-mails as well rather than discuss it
calmly on the list.

Heh. Imagine:
Jimbo: "OK, guys. What should we call our new project?"
Larry Sanger: "How about 'Wikipedia'?"
Jimbo: "That sounds cool. But how is it going to work?"
Jeremy Rosenfeld: "I have an idea! Let's use a wiki!"
Jimbo: "Brilliant! Jeremy, you're the man!"
Larry Sanger: "But it was *my* idea!"
Can we work a secret porn business into the script somehow? =]

Shhh, don't say the p-word! Gmail filtered your e-mail as spam! Maybe
it'll start doing the same with the rest of wikipedia-l mails once it
sees the connection ...
