required to get aggregate information to [[publish wiki]],
non-neutral-pov is the rule. there will be research
wiki where all non-neutral-pov stuff will get axed
immediatelly with a kind notice to go mess around in the
[[opinion wiki]]. [[publish wiki]] will import from
[[research wiki]] pending that someone will bet their own
credibility in declaring some information so certain that
it needs to be published. also aggregated (via SQL scripts
written in a not-yet-decided language) will be used to
automatically update the articles in [[publish wiki]] with
the aggregate information from [[opinion wiki]] with

<FennecFoxen> Zeta Creations
<bluefoxicy> FennecFoxen: It's a sex toy site--actually a pretty
tame one, unlike those that show pictures of their
toys EVERYWHERE and people using them
<bluefoxicy> but they sell . . . unique. . . products
<emRick> bluefoxicy: what's a Zeta Creation?
<bluefoxicy> like, they have a fox-shaped dildo in several colors,
including natural color
<Jeedo> bluefoxicy: on one condition, get permission
for the pictures and put them in the article
<bluefoxicy> Jeedo: I'm not putting THOSE pictures in the article XD
<Cyrius> hehe

<bluefoxicy> nobody wants to have pictures of a fox dick replica
shoved in their face :D
<emRick> people'll stick anything up anywhere nowadays
<bluefoxicy> I can see it now.
<Mark_Ryan> I saw a hilarious website with crucifix dildoes,
virgin mary butt plugs, things like that
<Jeedo> in fact, you'll be banned within 12 hours if you dont
write the article with pictures of course.
<bluefoxicy> "Zeta Creations is a [[Sex toy]] company which supplies
[[dildos]] and [[vibrators]] shaped like animal penises,
such as the Kit [[Fox]] model to the right."

with other species :-(

big the company is, how much they make, etc. . .
