No, sorry -- that just happened too quickly. I'll stick to contributing
to places, where my work will not be mangeled arbitrarily. My time is
limited. Good luck with the Wiki anyway.

Hi

Ah, Jeurgen, you've missed the point.

Wikis grow, some slowly, some quickly. You contributions are open to alteration,
or even abuse, that is their nature. But they are fantastic repositories of
information (who hasn't used wikipedia?)

This is a young, new venture for euphorians. Have some patience, akuysa has
undone the changes, and its starting to look a bit more organised. This is their
organic nature.

Anyone here spot the deliberate mistake?

Yes, Juergen. Please reconsider. Your input is highly valued.

I never edited Wiki before Aku's Wiki site. It emboldened me to actually enter a
change to Wikipedia (which I use constantly). I think it will be a great
resource.

Ryan Johnson: Sorry, I may have checked out your Wiki before but I really really
like the one Aku has set up. I'll check out yours some more when I have the time.

I know what Wikis are, and in the past I have contributrd to Wikipedia,
as well as to other less known Wikis. But they only will work reasonable,
if there is a certain minimum of respect for the work of other people.

But maybe just a little bit, eh? 

As you know, people make mistakes and if your words were 'disrespected' it is
most likely a mistake or over-enthusiastic editing. And this being a wiki means
you can either correct the edit, complain to the Admin, or both.

But this is very early days and us mere mortals are bound to err at times.
Please don't take it personally as I'm sure nothing was meant by any editing to
your contributions.

On the other hand, if anyone feels that their contributions are sacrosanct then
they should not contribute to a public wiki. I know that I must be prepared to
deal with other people trampling all over my precious words.

I do not take it peronally. I just don't like to work for the
wastpaper-basket. I know dozens of better ways to spend my time.

I never said "sacrosanct". But with other Wikis, I only meade positive
experiences in the past. So yes, what happened here was not what I had
expected.

This whole discussion is completely superfluous. It's not necessary
to tell me how Wikis work. And guess who's decision it is how I spend
my time ...
