   Oddly enough, I was just this afternoon reading a "Wired" article on 
Wikipedia in which the anti-cliche "The best is the opposite of the good" 
was used to describe the motivation for moving from the expert-written 
Nupedia to the masses-written Wikipedia. :)
   No relevance to this thread, of course, but I thought it was a neat 
coincidence. (And who knows, maybe it'll turn this thread into a flamewar 
too!)
