It's like adding a disclaimer to cat(1) to explain that cat just copies data to standard output, it doesn't transform it or compute how long it would take to send the data over UUCP. But it probably shows that I have been trying to write a couple of manual pages lately (for some personal stuff, plus some docs for work that are not technically manual pages but deserve the same sort of conciseness). Maybe Wikipedia-page format should admit an optional BUGS section. Norman Wilson Toronto ON PS: seriously, though I wouldn't bother including the debunking text myself, save perhaps on the Talk page to encourage editors to delete any future attempts to revive the un-names, I have no problem with Grog doing it. More power to him if he has the energy!
