    I would like to see a list of donors, please. Who went to the site and said "I enjoyed that little nugget of information let me send them some cash"?

    Since Wikipedia is basically the world's longest term paper, it makes sense that it should be run as well as your average student government.

    Reading this post is like watching a Fox News segment about the New York Times. No idea where all the satisfied vitriol is coming from, nor am I sure I've learned anything by the end of it.

    @At The Ivar: Sure it does. Ours. Although, come to think of it, a number of Canadians do seem to head south for that sort of things, so i suppose an argument could be made that we have theirs. If that's true, we sure haven't taken very good care of it.

    @Xylo: I'm in California, and i understand from linguists that California English (ignoring valley girls and surfer boys and any ESLers) is, as you say, without discernible accent. Californication, baby (and i don't mean David Duchovney). We will add your distinctiveness to our own, and then package it and sell it back to you.
