 Ulayiti:  As I wander and enjoy my way around the "pedia I have found discussions that range from the unwieldy to reverant calm.  Calm, usually on the part of the admins.  I find the 'pedia both "hard to put down" and sometimes childish and sometimes refreshing, always dynamic however.  Ever moving, sometimes as if in outer space, not really going anywhere but still having a universal purpose.  Sadly, while I can write this about Wikipedia, I found where a person's only attraction to the 'pedia was to delete people, and clean up trash.  This is not as bad as revealing they do not write articles themselves, but are overwhelmed by excersising the power to expend others no matter how long they may have laboured over a piece.  Never themselves having to go through the difficult editing process.  Much like a drug counsellor who never suffered the calamity of a drug dependency nor driven in desperate searches to save one's life.  They would have no idea.  How can this happen when I was enjoying the Wikipedia so much?  Becoming an editor, a real editor is more than joining a website merely to tear at articles written by the well-intended unknown for the joy of tearing them apart, knowing full well there is no consequence for their childishness.  I know Wikipedia survived well without me, and will continue to strive toward assembling a solid public library, gaining the trust of all.  But, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the volunteers whose stories, thoughts, beliefs, philosophies, heart and soul, fact searching and rewriting endlessly grace the pages, only to be assaulted by the immature.  Thanks for reading.  Bud Whiteye
