I have no experience of the item being discussed I therefore offer no opinion and will take no further part in this thread.

Thank you.

Well, that's odd - I have an opinion on everything, even if I've no idea what it is.

It is not that he does not have an opinion it is just that he will not offer one.

The greatest summing up of a wiki i have seen. Beacause all the infor being put into it is mainly subjective (if only in the way a defintion is worded) then some on one will change it to suit them and so the cycle goes on.

True of course, but also true of pretty much any other information source.
At least wiki is viewed with some skepticism, unlike something like the Britannica, which judging by the article above, should be viewed on the same terms.
