I noticed the following comment on /., & I think it's fair to say all of us can guess who the poster & the Wikipedian in this piece are.
(I'm not that surprised: there are an awful lot of kooks on /. as it is.)

Accurate meaning...? (Score:0) by Anonymous Coward on Wed 22 Jan 11:51AM (#5135984) How do you decide what accurate is?
There was a subject I wrote about in a number of articles, which some arrogant American woman who had no idea what she was talking about thought was incorrect, and altered all of what I wrote. All others agreed with her, although I know she is wrong.
I eventually rewrote the said area in a very indirect and obtuse way which they seemed to not take issue with in their ignorance of the subject.
How do you decide what is fact? With sheer force of editing numbers? This ends up with a bias.
I always knew 172 was out to prove he was better than anybody else. Zoe Geoff Burling llywrch@agora.rdrop.com wrote:I noticed the following comment on /., & I think it's fair to say all of us can guess who the poster & the Wikipedian in this piece are.

I was assuming the comment was from Lir/VeraCruz.

Well, at least we all agree it wasn't '24'.

His comments were about me. It's 172 I've been having problems with lately, not Lir. Zoe Jonathan Walther krooger@debian.org wrote:On Wed, Jan 22, 2003 at 08:19:25PM -0800, Zoe wrote:

Several attempts to send this to wikipedia-l@nupedia.com have failed as nonexistent. Has the mailing address been changed without my being told? Anyway, I'm having problems with Wikipedia. The last three times I've tried to log in, it's asked for my password, even though I have "remember me" checked. Why is this happening? Zoe
