Our breadth is a strength, not a weakness. We
don't have to have a
30,000-byte article on something to be a useful source on it.
We have been trying to empty the ocean of Google with the teaspoons of stubs of a couple
of paras, from the early days. This indeed is one of our great strengths.
In other words we have people willing to do this, on _anything_ really; and we have other
people willing to see that this pile of stubs - the stack of filing cards filled in at the
library, as it used to be for scholars, has value. In a hypertexted world, it does have
the great value, that the pigeonholes created fill up gradually.
