I should point out that I may appear to be falling into the fallacy of "we must do something effective, this is something effective, therefore we must do this." That is fallacious, and there are undoubtedly alternatives, possibly better ones. But something must in fact be done, and it must be *effective*. The appearance of action is an error that must be avoided. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
