[WikiEN-l] Two users left because of Wik

Wed May 5 13:50:49 UTC 2004

I observe that Wik's supporters generally haven't had their work
erased by him, and cheer him on as a sort of energetic proxy. But
I'll bet not a single person will actually quit WP if he is banned;
people quit when they've had their hard work undone, not because
some person is gone.
