it's like a giant online whiteboard. why bother formatting something neatly and uploading it to a website when you can just jott it down on a wiki?

it's basically the web equivalent of the back of a napkin

Learning takes place through the sharing of information.

I've looked through the links provided her in the original post and in Brandon's explanation, and I don't find that either of these are remotely intuitive or easy to use. If I need information that can't be found on the Internet at large, it seems like a nice, neat, organized message board like this is so much easier to use and keep track of.

Additionally, I know that information here, correct or incorrect, will remain consistent. This crazy Wiki seems like it could change at any time, making tracing your steps or otherwise navigating around an exercise in annoyance.
