See what I mean about the dangers of reasoning from personal
ignorance? Now I eagerly await objections that don't boil down to "but
webcomics are worse for Wikipedia than Pokemon."

(Part of the webcomics debacle was an attempt to get Snowspinner
excluded from webcomics deletion discussions because as an expert he
was obviously biased on the subject. Not in any particular direction,
but *by being an expert*.)
