How odd. A userid was created yesterday which nominated the Wikitruth
article for deletion, based on BADSITES, and a bunch of
none-too-convincing arguments. It's about the most obvious example of
a straw man nomination I've seen in a while; I hope I am not accused
of trying to revise history by saying that.

As for drawing attention to the site, it's pretty clear that both the
nomination, and in particular your advertising the site on this list,
will have far more of an effect in this regard. Was that your intent?
