Please stop using wikien-l as a forum to bash other wikis. We knew
what you thought about them some number of posts ago. These comments
being made on a public mailing list don't do Wikipedia's public image
any good.
I neither think your conclusions are wrong nor want to infringe your
freedom to have and speak your opinions, but ongoing bashing on this
list is bad for Wikipedias' reputation.
