Just to be clear, I am for competition. I am against fake competition i.e. bate and switch. Remember that our competitive system has certain rules against unfair practices like dumping for example. Bate and switch is just another example.
This will probably be the last thing I say since the space time continuim is probably breaking down as we speak.
In case the space time continuin does not break down, I would say that Jake has a good point. You can't find the latest listing of TV show episodes on a real encyclopedia. Wiki allows people to pool and centralize info on a lot of topics that don't end up in the encyclopedia, like version of visual studio, or versions of Windows etc. I guess I would have less of a beef with wiki if they changed the name from -pedia (implying encyclopedia) to shared information system or WikiSharedInformationSystem.com.

"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
