You know, I've sometimes played with the idea of a fandom-history wiki
myself, and I think it's a great idea, except in practice.
Unfortunately, most of the stuff from the earlier days is long gone and
nobody remembers it particularly well, if at all -- if said people are
even around anymore. Then you have such problems as everyone considering
themselves an influential member of the fandom, nobody agreeing on
anything, especially about drama, and so forth.
I think I'll pass on editing it, and nobody probably would have wanted
me to anyway, but maybe I'll pass it on. It might be good for a laugh
later on.
