And I was new to wikis in general and didn't really like the MagicWikiLinkCamelCaseNamingConvention. Still don't like it much but I've mostly made peace with it. I do tend to prefer the [Arbitrary text in square brackets] link convention that I've seen on some wikis. I also remember feeling it was too hard to find stuff.

That's because it's a random-tuning noise-maker, not a true saxophone :-) Dimensions were entirely arbitrary. I have no idea where that thing is. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
