[Wikimediaau-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] 6 reasons we're in another book-burning period in history

[John Vandenberg]

Anyone know what happened to the books at UNSW in the end?  Was
everything digitially preserved before being 'burnt'?

It might make for an interesting wikinews article.

I love Cracked. It's Wikipedia with dick jokes.

To be ha ha only serious for a moment, this touches on why we all
bother doing this.

(But an image filter definitely needs money spent on it.)
