"But you would say that" :-) And then some one else "corrects" your stuff..... I personally have seen the case where someone was "correcting" a page they had written after the originator of the work on finding the wiki page had changed a lot of the page to be accurate. So even when some one who really knows corrects the Wiki there is no guarantee that some idiot will not change it again. Some companies, religions, pressure groups, political groups spend time "correcting" wiki pages to reflect their views and "repairing" damaged caused by vandals.... ie other companies, religions, pressure groups, political groups spending time "correcting" wiki pages to reflect their views -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
