On matters of historical technical accuracy, I've pretty much given up on WikiP. Oh, it's still useful, but I find myself muttering to myself "Vass you dere, Shollie?" when reading some of the stuff. It doesn't really matter--in a couple of decades, we'll all be dead and the "historians" can write whatever they want without being challenged. --Chuck
