Am I the only one out there who’s mildly annoyed at having to pay $39.95 to renew my copy of Radio, when I don’t use a single kilobyte of storage or consume any bandwidth whatsoever on Userland’s servers?

What is Wiki?. I am struggling to understand better. Here is a useful page. As I understand it, Wiki is a group editor with a “ Darwinian” power – crap will be edited out. Am I close? Is this what Socialtext is about? Ross if you see this I could do with some help –…
