TIL - with great surprise - that Cunningham's law - ""The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer." - actually predates the invention of the wiki by Ward Cunningham by about a decade.
I always had assumed that the law was expressing the lived experiences running wikis, but it was referring to Usenet posts, predating the Web and wikis.
