The Wiki - A Suggestion

[Steve]

Dear Colin

You are neither, my friend: it's a splendid idea. The ambition when 
vinpinman started the Wiki in the first place (I believe) was for it 
to be the ultimate Peel resource, one that would be so comprehensive 
even the BBC would use it. This would only enhance the experience.
However, beyond this encouragement, I don't have any further ideas on 
this, and am limited to collecting original quotes from the Net and 
the two Peel books I have. Anything I find usually gets recycled 
from 'Teenage Kicks': for example, Hefner's feelings about being 
a 'Peel band'.
Maybe we should open a forum on the Wiki about this: how about it, 
Steve (saipanda)?

Best wishes
Steve [TK]

Over time such contributions could provide a unique source of
