Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

— Tennyson, "The Lady of Shalott"

Thanks for this hilarious bit of "Cult Fiction". When you get ready to deal with the reality of what goes on in Wikipedia, instead of recycling their e-soteric religious tracts as quasi-journalism, please be invited to visit the good folks at The Wikipedia Review.

As far as the empirical side of things goes, Mr. Awbrey (by the way, are you the famous banned sockpuppet abuser, John Awbrey?), you don't know what I know about Wikipedia. When my findings come out, however, you may need to comb through three years of talk page deliberations from a particular article on the Israeli Palestinian conflict before responding back.

Thank you for the preview of coming attractions. That makes for a more thrilling overture than all the pretty bubbles one can blow in the air — and though I would be the last to choose between Mozart and Beethoven I think that the age of the former has passed when it comes to the Wikipedia song and dance.

I can only hope that your probing of the facts in future will dig a bit deeper into the truth than your continuing echo of the Wikipediot hymnal has so far foreshadowed.
