I agree with Ken. I have heard about it but have not checked into it. Might just have to.

Hi Kathy ~ Their positions in the search engines boggle my mind. I've never been a fan really because the amateur version doesn't cut it for me - I prefer the real thing as an information resource. But I'll admit to checking it out more than once since it pops up so often in searches. Funny - somebody linked from it to one of my posts and it pulls in a lot of traffic.

I've been known to write articles and edit facts on Wikipedia.  Oh, I know it is amateur, but it is sort of like Pandora Radio....a compilation of knowledge and taste.  I detest inaccuracy.  And, when I check something out and it is out of left field, I try to correct it.  And, even one or two of my articles have had additions which I gladly welcome.  Esoteric is my forte.  If someone else finds it interesting, go for it.  Great post.
