Funny, but in a slightly worrying way: given that it comes in the
middle of what is essentially a list of reasons this man [who, by the
way, I've never heard of, being British, but anyway] is a bit of a
crackpot, one has to wonder what the writer thought they were
referring to here. Perhaps somebody fed them the line as a joke, to
see if they'd include it without knowing what they were talking about?
He sure sounds like an odd fellow, so maybe the writer just thought
"an encyclopedia that anyone can edit? That sounds like a rather
stupid idea, it must be his..."
BTW, I like the description of this guy's father on an official
biography as a "technologist and internationally active consultant in
the footwear industry". How, um, glamourous... :D
