I didn"t know that you wrote it, M., but now your addition has been signed for you. Yes it is a form of learning, but a very indirect learning where you don"t go seeking facts, but rather you drift and find facts and more importantly, opinions. Since learning is fun, I browse wikis for the sheer joy of it and add to them so that others can pass through and experience the same feelings. In other words, please add things that are valuable either by their factual content or are pleasing to read. A good example of a page that is very pleasing, yet doesn"t have data that you would do a google search for ( ) is Andy Baker"s page wheras this page has a direct fact on it, yet it isn"t nearly as valuable as Andy"s.
The Morec of this post is that while the Friki may not be as good as a search engine at finding the facts you want answered it provides all the pleasing learning you would get from a rambling conversation with the world, or something like that...
