Thank you, I do try.

And with that, I will PayPal you $50.

Not only will I maintain the page, but if you look to the bottom you 
will see a form that allows anyone to post to the page (spam filters 
and an oversight approval system are in place) with questions, 
comments, links, etc... And, not only that, if you register with the 
site, you, Stefen, can become the page editor and modify it directly 
as you wish.

I'm happy to contribute to your addiction. ;)

Setting up a Wiki is a noble goal. If you want to take the time to 
manage the user account, try to keep the spam under control and all 
that, I encourage you to do so.

On the other hand, I would be happy to make my existing wiki system 
(on massmind.org) available and I will manage the users, keep it spam 
free, do the backups, etc... for you.

Just in case I wasn't clear enough, massmind.org IS a wiki. Anyone 
can post content to it. I filter spam and approve (or not) all posts. 
The page for this "contest" is ON that wiki already. You can become 
the editor of the page and change it as you will.

If you choose to use massmind, just email me the pictures, or point 
me to them, and I will take care of all that for you.
