The second round in the Wikipedia-Register battle of
2004 has been
published, and Andrew Orlowski promises a third. You have to chuckle
at his description of the Wikipedia community as "the Khmer Rouge in
diapers."

He has the advantage of being able to cherry pick the most acerbic,
typo ridden email rants in order to make his case. Then again, the
Register folks have no high ground here - they didn't spell their own
URL correctly ("daipers" [sic]).
As long as they can tell us to go read a "*real* encyclopedia", how
about we go off and read a *real* newspaper? :)
