As gunkies came up a few times during this thread, please beware that
those of us who update gunkies in some cases simply try to collect
information that's floating around so that it doesn't disappear -
gunkies is different from Wikipedia, and is meant to be. Please read
http://gunkies.org/wiki/Main_Page, particularly 'Sentences starting
with "I seem to recall" are perfectly welcome here'
That doesn't mean that there's no trustworthy information there, but
there'll be an element of "research", and sometimes hearsay, which
Wikipedia doesn't allow.
In other words, the output from discussions on this list will
sometimes be input for gunkies, in that case it shouldn't be used the
other way around.. except for defacto factual stuff like images and
linked documents.
(In other news, gunkies was recently moved to a "less glacial server",
as the admin phrased it.. well, that's the understatement of the
century, it's now easy and quick to edit. I mention this because now
and then people on cctalk have asked for a place to collect lists of
technical information of various types, which are not welcome on
Wikipedia. This type of info *is* welcome on gunkies, and now that
it's snappy to use it is a real alternative. Feel free, folks.. the
only issue is that due to past spam problems it's necessary to email
the admin to get an account and write access.)
