Bump!

 

Someone's been very busy playing link king.

 

Yes... I didn't want to copy & paste everything. LOL

 

Bob -- nice links, but Wikipedia isn't the be-all end-all for information. It is usually fairly accurate, but finding "original" source material would have been more impressive.

I'm not trying to bash your thread, I appreciate the work you've done, I just don't think linking to different wiki pages is any different than posting a link to a google search result page (note that I use both all the time, by the way).

 

Well its for the new owner that has 0 knowledge of any above topic. Granted Wiki isn't the "best" source but its gives people the general idea of the topic. Also answers a lot of the same questions. I personally feel it should be a sticky.

 

I hear ya -- searching so that you can be informed enough to ask an intelligent question would seem to be instinctively the correct thing to do, but I fear instinct (i.e., collective racial (not waisis) knowledge) is rapidly being weened out of the species.

I'm oft reminded of "The Marching Morons" by C.M. Kornbluth...

 

Noobs please read some of the above links. Thanks!
