Our breadth is a strength, not a weakness. We don't have to have a 30,000-byte article on something to be a useful source on it.

We have been trying to empty the ocean of Google with the teaspoons of stubs of a couple of paras, from the early days. This indeed is one of our great strengths.

In other words we have people willing to do this, on _anything_ really; and we have other people willing to see that this pile of stubs - the stack of filing cards filled in at the library, as it used to be for scholars, has value. In a hypertexted world, it does have the great value, that the pigeonholes created fill up gradually.
