Maybe. It isn't only about writing, it is also about reading.

The goal is not to write as much text as possible. The goal--if I got it right--is to write a book. You surely do not want to maintain a book (200 pages and more) in a wiki. It would either end as a rather bad book or become sooner or later a nightmare to maintain. I already wee you writing "bots" to accomplish simple search-and-replace opperations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
