While that is certainly true I do think that our use of this list is fair. We
are *not* creating a WikiReader that covers the same topics that EB covers.
That would clearly not be fair. Instead we are using that list just to assist
us in filling gaps that exist in our coverage;  when any particular item is
filled, we delete it from the list.
