No, I considered that if I wanted to pass the class, I'd accept what they said
they would accept. As for Truth and Knowledge, what is the truth? The way I
see it, there are three types of truth ... your truth, my truth, and THE truth;
a for knowledge ... how do we know that the knowledge we have is true? We
trust that those in charge of our upbringing and education woudl know knowingly
steer their proteges down the wrong path ... could happen? has it happened?
Yes, however, we all like to believe that it won't happen to us.
But anyway, no need to further take up space on a relatively minor event when
this is a mail list for projectaon. Whatever methods these volunteers deem fit
to use is fine by me, I am not the one working on the project(s).
So, as of this e-mail, I am dropping the subject.

lol yeah well your professors have a vested commercial interest in maintaining
their tenure
and the supremacy and kudos of their own academic institutions when it comes to
being
Guardians of Truth and Knowledge, did you ever consider that...? ;0)

No, to be truthful, I was never aware that wikipedia was an org site. I have
always seen it as a com site. However, despite that, my main issue with
wikipedia is that a ton of the information has no sources cited for the
listing(s). It is not like there is a division of personnel ensuring the
accuracy of what people input. In any event, non of my professors accept
wikipedia as a valid source of information due to the incosistency and lack of
cite management.

wikipedia.org is an org site, so you seem to contradict yourself. :-)
Or does "org site" mean something other than a website whose domain name
ends in .org?
