No no, I’m sure I jest; I have even very recently had someone wonder whether a wiki is like Notes…

And no, I haven’t updated my theme yet; for now I’m still using Tom Werner’s plugin; no need to, of course.

BTW are you using the latest Gravatar support or a separate Gravatar plugin?

I can almost understand the usual inter-organisation selfishness about knowledge, but even with that it seems that people (employees and customers, I mean, not management) lose more than they gain.

Collaboration rather than competition should be the objective.
