[WikiEN-l] Thoughts on naming people - article content, this time.

[Fred Bauder]

I think it's righteous, for several reasons: bragging rights about Jews' valuable contributions, clear evidence that Jews don't run everything, or even much, and links to interesting accomplished people. There are all kinds of ways to go wrong with this list, but I'm sure the article does not suffer from want of watchers.
