>>If there's mis-information posted to a threaded forum, you need to read everything to make sure somebody didn't get corrected. On the Wiki, the participants wipe out mis-information when they see it and replace it with correct info.

Well they say thats part of the beauty of a Wiki interface, that it's self policing. But I agree with your point. Currently, their working on protocol & guidelines over there and such. I think once it gets off the ground, and things such as last changed datestamps and a list of who contributed their input to a topic, it will be a whole lot easier to judge the accuracy at a glance of posted material.
