[WikiEN-l] Re: "Oh, Yuck: The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty"

In the real world, not all reference books are encyclopedias. That's not just 
because encyclopedias are "paper. "Great Books of the Western World" is not 
the same thing as "The Encyclopaedia Britannica," just as Wikisource is not 
the same thing as Wikipedia. 

And "The Encyclopedia of Chicago," "The Star Trek Encyclopedia," and "Oh, 
Yuck: The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty" are not part of any comprehensive 
encyclopedia either, nor should they be.

Forks are not intrinsically evil; as I've always understood it, the ability 
to produce forks is supposed to be one of the _strengths_ of the GFDL and 
other free licenses.
