Well, yeah. Has anyone given a good reason to move from Moin? I can
read the wiki and write stuff in it OK.

None. You appear to be reading something that I didn't write.

Er, I didn't state that wiki.winehq.org has a problem with spammers -
I asked if there was, *in the text you actually quoted*. Again, you
appear to be reading things I didn't write at all, even while quoting
what I did. Your communications are confusing, please make them less
