It's about time people will stop the manner of reponding to people's questions/notions with Wikipedia link instead of a short informative and much more pleasant response.
Specifically for that link, i went to the link, where the first paragraph said nothing about what the subjuct is in essence.
further reading started to be too lengthy to continue with and contributed little to the understanding.
If we were all sitting in a comfortable living room having a nice intelectual conversation, people would rather speak to the point and not giving links, so why in that format it is it so common?.
Moreover, if it was a special hidden link to a special internet page that have relevant information, but the average reader will have difficulty to find, that might give reasonable contribution.
In the wiki case, presuming the other participants here heard of wikipedia somewhere along their lives, this kind of answers carries also a little (hidden?) disrespect/patronizing towards the previous responder.
As i see it (my opinion surely, also for all the above),
if we are having a conversation here, lets have it, and not send people running to the nearby library in the middle of the conversation instead of putting some effort in giving them information that they don't have right now.
Guess we came here to learn from each other, we came for the data, not the (tirivial) pointers.

Just to clarify that i didn't meant for any personal notions about the Hashmanit :)
