crap, i have been running an alternative medical clinic out of my basement and i ask a series of questions then look at wikipedia and provide a diagnonsis and course of treatment.......seems i owe my patients an apology and possibly a refund.
i guess i'll have to research my predicament on wikipedia......
anywyas, now that my son uses the net to search for stuff for school i remind him that he needs to verify his answers by using a total of three different websites - i always tell him that the stuff on the net is somebody's version of the "facts" and most folks who publish stuff on the net have a personal agenda.
historically we have likely thought that the publishers of encyclopedia's are independent and have no agenda.
