To be brutally fair, that is the whole point of a wiki. Most websites, you 
have to petition the webmaster to change anything, assuming the so-and-so is 
still alive and receiving email. On a wiki, you can dive in and do it 
yourself. Whether your ego survives the ensuing sh*st*rm is an entirely 
separate problem :-)

You Know You've Been Doing Too Much Wiki When...you find yourself looking 
for the "Edit this..." link on some other website, like, say, microsoft.com 
or Mugglenet :-)
