From: Jon Awbrey jawbrey@att.net okay, i get it, everything is just hunky dory in wikiparadise. do not let the fact that wikipedia wastes expertise the way a bradley fighting vehicle wastes gas trouble you one teeny bit.
My own observation with regard to Wikipedia is that when I find myself getting angry, I usually discover that I have been trying to exert _control_ over something. When I am satisfied with exerting _influence_, I usually am much happier.

Oh, well put. Personally I'm always puzzled when I see two people edit warring. It's like each of them is thinking "wow, no matter what he does, I can always revert! I can't lose!"
