is the way everything is so massively linked. You read one entry, and before
you know it, you're reading up on Anne Boleyn or Italian greyhounds."
Not bad for the press, even though they got the URL wrong, credited

definition of WikiWiki.
Well, then. Maybe somebody should send a letter to the editor in, and
maybe with a little luck they'll run it twice and we'll get two mentions
for the price of one :)
