And, of course, I didn't say it was, so your point is very unclear
indeed. I would have thought the above was fairly obviously answering
the question of wiki spam control, and noting that I know a thing or
two about the area; in this case, the relevant point is that Wikipedia
is a wiki rather than that it is an encyclopedia.

If you're going to pick random unrelated tangents out of what I write,
it won't really enhance communication.
