I seem to have missed the detailed plans and blueprints on how to make 
an A-Bomb.  Care to link me? Or do you really think that the press won't 
sensationalise the minute it is realised someone learnt something bad 
from Wikipedia? I'd rather send Mr Gerard out there if it ever does so, 
because I think he has more chance of getting the message across that 
this stuff will happen with or without Wikipedia in the world.
