Colin, there are many places in the wiki where people contradict each other - as luck would have it, I can't find an example without putting more work into it than I want to.  But I seem to remember an piece of text ascribed to somebody and that somebody adding on the wiki page that they weren't responsible for it at all.  But that is ok on a wiki.

My point was that in addition to a wiki, a regular website is needed to draw people in. Think of it as an auto showroom.  Inside a well-managed showroom, you will get the opportunity to exchane views with professionals, get good advice - the "straight goods", back-up materials etc. But to get people in, you need an attractive storefront with shiny clean models, carefully postioned, changed with reasonable frequency, cleaned every day, and even advertising to ensure people get to see the storefront.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks again for your replies in the "Constructive Comments" thread.  I really 
appreciate the time you took to look at my page, and the comments you made.  
I'm thinking about them.  I'm also gathering the discussion into a form 
better suited to following the discussion.  I'll post about that when I've 
done it.

In the meantime, you never replied to my question about your comment on the 
"necessary contradictions" on a wiki.  Could you expand on that?


Best


Colin
