Thing 16

Wiki's

I don't like WIKI's! While they can be informative, to me, they are a source for misinformation. In some cases, albeit very small, the information entered is inaccurate or intentionally incorrect. And, since once the information is posted, it can be viewed, edited, quoted, etc. there is very little that can be done to "retrieve" inaccurate information once it is published.

But, to hedge my statement, a wiki is a place to start to gather information, but, confirm, confirm, confirm. Just because it is on a site, does not mean it is accurate.
