I should have thought of wikipedia! ---- Just wondering...I occasionally run into people that dismiss wikipedia out of hand citing a lack of accuracy. Needless to say, I get a little excited because even when I suggest that they are capable of fixing inaccuracies or adding missing information, they are defeatists who simply don't get it. I would bet others run into this kind of person...who doesn't believe that it's accurate unless it's printed in Groliers or Britannica or some pay service. How do you deal with people like this?
