Re: [papercreters] Re: Papercrete Building Code Nomination

<LOL>  You hit a trigger with wikipedia.  I have never been to one that provided the depth of knowledge I require when researching.  I consider them "fluff" sites, not tools to be used for serious research.  They contain surface knowledge provided by the any number of people in the general public.  The are the equivalent of a topic specific forum for which anyone can write.  The ones that massively irritate me are the ones which offer medical advice.  My favorite example is the one offering medical advice where the advice is given by a forensic scientist.  <eyes wide in disbelief>  Oh, yeah, I'm game for medical advice from a guy who cuts up dead people, someone who has no research experience in the field on which he's giving advice.  <shaking head>  No thankyou.

Some day maybe we can convice Nori to express her feelings and not
hold back so much. YIKES!

Hey. I said I've never used it. Looks like Chris likes WordPress
already. I've never used that either. We aren't all web designer
gurus.

Excuse me while I find my head. It's rolling on the floor somewhere
after it got chopped off. Does somebody have some Neosporin and a
few Bandaids?
