I like the whole idea, it's quite amusing, and fun to watch. Wayne is right about not letting the advertising agencies getting their hands on it. I don't like greedy and selfish people like that. Wayne also agrees to hand it over to teri Irwin, which is a very decent and noble thing to do. I admire your courage and strentgh, and willingness to do the right thing. I know lots of people would have loved to get their hands on it aand abuse it, but you decided to hand it back, which makes you a hero.

Yeah I cant see the problem when Wayne first put the story on the forum before the TT story he was saying that he had contacted OZ ZOO to hand it over to the irwins. I think a lot of people try to see the worst in some things. The whole steve irwin death put a bit of the "Protective Lioness" in a lot of people so everyone thought that Wayne was doing something wrong. I absolutely thought it was a good thing he was doing. Not for a moment did I think he had alterior motives etc. although I dont have a suspicious mind.

Hi lluvatar,
I don't like the way admins at Wikipedia run roughshod over newbies, lie and generally assasinate peoples charactors. Usually after banning them so there is no hope of a reply. All I ever do is add links and make the odd improvement to articles and for that I'm called a "vandal". A vandal is somebody who smashes topilets and graffiti's trains. It says on the front page of Wikipedia that anybody can edit it. It also says in the tutorial that new users should feel free to dive in and make changes. What it should also say is that if you accept the offer then you will be charactor assasinated by the fourth rate hacks and self proclaimed administrators running the place.

It was a Wikipedian named Andrew Lau( user netsnipe) who fed the lisleading information to smh. Hence all the references to wikipedian quotes. He did it out of revenge. Petty and extremely stupid. I hope he likes Wikipedia as much as he professes because its as close to a real media source as he is ever likely to get now. Major tabloids don't like being lied to.

Media Watch called me after that one was published.

Wikipedia: The Encyclopedia where anybody can be charactor assasinated.

This one has Wikipedian Admins Netsnipe and Antandrus scared silly they might be prosecuted. Apparently it is against the law to give misleading information to the press. There is a brief reference to it in this threatening email I got from FAIRFAX the other day.

I'm just going to keep telling the truth until I get my retraction at smh. I'm currently visiting message boards all over the net telling people what really happened.

I'm genuinely curious as to your objectives and motivation here Wayne.

The original SMH article said nothing that wasn't strictly true - even you will have to admit that - so why all the fuss?

You can visit as many message boards as you like, it won't change the facts.

You are in a no-win situation here. Hey, if the truth be known, nobody actually gives a flying fig about you, the web site, your history of Wikipedia vandalism, the long list of web sites you seem to have accumulated for no particular reason etc etc.

Just accept that what you are doing is not normal behaviour, benefits nobody and therefore is seen to be odd, but ultimately of little consequence.

Have a great day.

who the heck is this pericles guys. what you said made no sense at all... if you didn't give a fig then why bother to post here, and tell us your opinion, guess what? none of us give a rat's ass about you either. for heaven's before you start an argument get your facts straight. Wayne gave the website back to the Irwins, then what is the problem here? He did a great deed, knowin Wayne, it's something he would do. I he wanted money from this he could have since he was smart enough to pull such a thing. get real!
