Er. I'd have hoped for something a little less locker-roomish from wikien-l.

I took Lore Sjoberg's piece (and forwarded it here) as an example of
the Wikipedia people actually read as opposed to the one we'd hope
they read. With [[List of big bust models and performers]] as the #1
non-navigational hit for December. But not necessarily as a good
thing, or something to riff off.

(Maybe I'm too sensitive or formed my views in the '80s, when
"politically correct" was "ideologically sound" and was a *good*
thing.)
