When recruiting for youth groups, I remember being told very explicitly to
avoid speaking negatively about competing groups during presentations, given
the risk that potential members (or their parents) would find the attitude
off-putting. I think a similar concept might apply to encyclopedias -- as a
reader, I'm in it for the entries, not the chest pounding.

I think we'd do well to bear that in mind, when it comes to public image and
especially with regard to the presentation of content.

That's not to say I think we do a bad job of it. Just prattling on.
