I confess to being confused by who was doing what to who on these
various boards - the evidence suggests that the same person who
had to be moderated on Stormfront was also the one counseling
people to be careful on NPOV when editing on WP, which is kind of an
odd mix of temperance and intemperance. I wonder a) if all these
people are who they appear to be, and b) how much content is real,
and how much is forged. One of the bonuses of owning a website is
that you can change its content however you like (witness recent
whitewashing on Rush Limbaugh's website, heh heh).

Again, the only content and history we can really trust is
what is under wikimedia.org.
