I guess I should explain my point. Wiki's are hailed as the human edited knowledge base but I believe it is insidious. I think Wiki's are most edited by those that have the most interest in the subject (which may not always coincide with best interest of the subject). I also believe such people are prepared to keep editing out other peoples additions ad infinitum.

However, I don't know if Wiki books are the same or different to normal Wiki pages and I've not got time or inclination to check I'm afraid.]]> Peak Oil Wiki-book https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=862&Focus=9345#Comment_9345 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=862&Focus=9345#Comment_9345 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:34:18 +0000 biffvernon True enough, but the same could be said about the author of any book or other publication
