Sorry to come off like Aunt Helen's poodle yesterday ("Shut up Mitsi!").
I know FuseWiki is no cyber-dharma. And you are right Erik. It is comparing
apples and oranges.
But frankly, we need both apples and oranges. Oranges have vitamin C to keep
us from getting scurvy and apples have lots of fiber to keep us... well you
get the picture.
FuseWiki and The List are both useful to the "evolution" of the methodology.
The List is like text-based talk-radio and FuseWiki is like a giant
white-board. Snippets from list postings get pinned up on the FuseWiki and
links from the FuseWiki come across the List. I see symbiosis here not
competition.
In a perfect FuseBox World we would all sell our earthly possessions and
take pilgrimage to study under his HALiness. (actually if I sold all my
earthly possessions I would probably get about $2500 - Coincidence?)
At least read this:
http://www.meta-magic.com/cgi-bin/fusewiki?TheEssenseOfFuseWiki
and I'll get off of my FuseWiki soap box (for a while anyway).

Hey, I was not complaining. The question was asked why it's
not being used very often. Email is a different medium, and
people are accustomed to seeing text only. Web is different.
So let's not compare apples and oranges, especially on this
list.

Hell yes! This is wide open, and anyone can add anything they
want, anywhere they want. It therefore looks like there is
potential for a speghetti like navigation scheme. That's what
I meant by speghetti. I take it you thought I was talking about
something else. And what the hell? Apanish Inquisition? Jewish
FuseBretheren? Dude!

Yes yes, I understand how wonderful you think it is. I was
not arguing how great or how crappy Wiki is, I was lending an
opinion as to why it's not being used very much. Thank you
for showing me the light.
