	The new aspect would be if *Wikipedia higher-ups* have
concluded this, including possible advice from real live lawyers. And
that an eventual "section 230" case is likely enough that Wikipedia
might as well choose its plaintiff if possible.

	Pure conjecture on my part. I could be wrong. Be amused by it
if nothing else. We'll see in the fullness of time. My self-interest
lies in reducing the pile of how-could-you-DO-this-Jimmy messages I
have to plow through if I want to follow the situation.
