looks
at Wikipedia for his Mercury News (and beyond) column.
"
Similarly, a Wiki draws strength from its volunteers who catch and
fix every act of online vandalism. When the bad guys learn that someone
will repair their damage within minutes, and therefore prevent the damage
from being visible to the world, they tend to give up and move along to
more vulnerable places."
