I do agree on principle.Think I got a bit carried away there...
But I disagree that 'Wikipedia is a good and useful site'.
Wikipedia is useful so long as you know what it is, but I have seen too many people quote from some of the more spurious pages as a serious reference.
And I've seen too many people who genuinely know a subject have their well-meaning edits reversed back to school-level standards of knowledge by the moderators.
In my opinion, before it can really be useful, wikipedia needs a large banner at the top of each page saying 'Warning: may not be true'.
Or perhaps, 'may contain nuts'. :-)

jahMaybe I'm a bit overboard though too...
a warning label would be good. Maybe the DO need to change what they do and do not let through.
but.. is that TRUE internet freedom?

Truth is... YES, because in the end the site owner pays for the bandwidth.

For some reason...I read that link as 'wear the web'. I was thinking it would be some sort of fantastic intermaweb cape, which you can wear...

Oooh I think I might go make an image of that now.
