I completely agree.  The wiki is more lecture than conversation, lacking
a decent means to question or discuss, only to correct and un-correct.
The worst thing that can happen is when someone starts adding
questionable interpretive conclusions like Doug's page 95 entry.  (That
one wasn't even worth discussing.)  I anticipate the wiki turning into a
junkyard full of people's half-baked opinions and Kinbote-esque
commentary (i.e. worse than useless).
