Arguments on Wikipedia typically center on things like whether or not the article about Crisco should include references about the product being a preferred lubricant of those who enjoy anal fisting. I kid you not.

I had a nice "a href" link in there, per the comments instructions saying such scripts were allowed, and then when I posted, it disappeared. Don't you see that I added a "reply" to my comment?

I fully accept and appreciate your apology.

Anyway, more importantly... why the rather bland level of commentary on this article? Such interesting graphics, too!
