soon enough.
There are no social clubs available on the net with the
prestige of
Wikipedia. It is a top 20 website.
Surely, using your own definition, that would mean that
there are 19
more attractive ones?
Not really, since the others don't allow people to do
this kind of
thing.
Ah. So you see Wikipedia as a social club. A prestigious
social club.
Actually, I've been arguing the exact opposite. Are you sure you're reading my e-mails?
You said: "There are no social clubs available on the net with the prestige of Wikipedia." That looks like a statement that Wikipedia is the most prestigious social club available on the net.
I was responding to *your* e-mail, in which you first introduced the concept of Wikipedia as a social club, and suggested there were better ones around.
Are you all done playing games?
Jay.
