None of which changes the fact that this is a fair use work composed
entirely of copyrighted material, which your previous posting claimed
was not possible. It's a counterexample to your assertion, not a perfect
analogy for BJAODN. Once the notion that it's possible to have a fair
use work composed entirely of copyrighted material is accepted, _then_
we can progress on further quibbling about BJAODN specifically.

I'm suggesting it could be considered a parody of Wikipedia, not of
BJAODN itself.
