Hey, great! About time! (I was too lazy to do it myself....)

Here's a question that was discussed (and argued) over for months at various WP forums and articles:

I added to one of the RAH articles a brief statement that Robert told me personally (while we were drinking rose wine in Tahiti) that Moon Is a Harsh Mistress was his best book.

Cries of Original Research! Hoohah to the nth degree! Some people took my side. Some didn't. It was inserted, removed, reverted, etc. etc.

At first I couldn't understand how anyone could *possibly* remove it. Finally I grew to understand the WP view of Original Research, so I shrugged my shoulders and said the hell with it.

What do we want to do about it here in this more civilized environment?Hayford Peirce 15:33, 5 March 2008 (CST)
