Re: [Amc-list] VAM on 'the prestigious internet' site

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I just went over and did some major editing of the VAM entry, 
incorporating what someone edited (with info from Fred Koos and Miguel 
Ortiguez) into the main article rather than having it look like two 
contradictory articles. I've done some major research on VAM, and the 
article had a lot of half-truths in it, such as the eventual sale to 
Renault -- AMC sold out to Renault in 82, Renault took over the Mexican 
government portion in 87 so they could close the unprofitable venture 
out. Renault didn't buy VAM in 82 as the article stated -- they 
inherited a portion of it when they bought AMC. ------------- Date: Sun,

The way it works is "If it's on wikipedia, someone thinks it's true, 
and nobody who knows better has cared enough to correct the errors."

I don't now how much of this is true or not.  If you do, why are you
griping about it here rather than creating a wikipedia account for 
yourself and straightening it out?
