Please edit the article if you are moved to, but don't trash it. I wrote
most of the first portion and certainly will expect you to incorporate the
material in that part in any rewrite you do. A rewrite that simply trashes
the whole preceeding article is just an invitation to trouble. I agree that
it would be very difficult to incorporate Larry's text, but there is a body
of knowledge behind what he wrote which with research could be set forth.

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Larry's text on the "Knowledge" article
Well, I want to just delete the whole thing and
replace it with a short paragraph or two about
epistemology. But then people would complain, and I
don't like to do things if they are going to be
disliked by everyone. If it's OK for me to completely
rewrite the article, then I will. I would also like
to do the same with [[Information warfare]], but the
shortening of articles seems to be discouraged.

it." I've seen that here a lot. Zoe
