Observations

1. In a tabbed browser, the number of tabs pointing to articles on Wikipedia grows exponentially until the user gives up on ever reading them all, closes the browser, and starts from scratch.
2. People who stop good people from doing good things for good people because "it's against the rules" are jerks. In my experience, the vast majority of these jerks work for insurance companies, law firms, or the government, but they have been spotted in many other situations.
