Wikipedia is currently being sued because someone published a "revelation" about the Kennedy assisination that named names and the wiki operators never caught on. The person who was named may win the lawsuit which could close Wikipedia down completely. Sad, actually, but it DOES point out the danger of quoting Wikipedia or other anonymous online sources rather than using it as a place to go to find REAL sources of info in the footnotes. ------------------------ Yahoo!
