[WikiEN-l] Jeff Merkey threatens to sue Wikipedia and Wikipedians

[FT2]

Not purporting to speak for anyone else, but on a scale of 0 - 10, my terror
and apprehension levels on this would have to look way, way up, to reach
zero.



I have lost roughly the amount of sleep that I do when seized by the
irrational fear that a giant meteorite comprised of burger king wrappers and
1800's antique furniture may one day pulverize my home as I rest blissfully
unaware.



FT2.
