Andy and all,

  Now that was funny!  >:))  Well done Andy! Well done indeed!

  To further the humor, don't forget that a supposed
wikipedia.xxx would first need to be trademarked and 
a pre-registration period giving already similar registered
TM's would of course get first dibs, eh?  And at this point
should it be achieved or come to pass, would than reflect
Wikipedia still as porn proliferator.  Is that an image
they can live with and/or desire to project? Me thinks not.

  Oh my the drama of it all!  >;)
