Well I did say up front that all of you were right and I was wrong

But! this only underlines eveything I said regarding Wiki before. Try to 
find your way through our messy emails in the archive and compare itwith 
the formidable Press Release we have now. Concentrated information, 
refined by so many people and still in one place. I still believe its

get concentrated information to many people (also Chris' messages). Its 
the appetizer and bit information consumption that we have to address. 
Anything that makes people concentrate longer than 30 seconds is 
regarded as a major act - at least that is what I sometimes feel.
