Literally 15 minutes after I posted Wayne Crookes sues Google, Wikipedia there was a knock on my door. It was a writ server telling me I, too, have been named in a Crookes lawsuit, alongside the Wikipedia Foundation, six anonymous people and an Arizona proxy service.

What did I do? I linked to an article Crookes says libels him.

Sued for linking to a site that might libel. Isn't that great? Who knows, perhaps I end up with a lawsuit for linking to a site that links to a site that might libel someone.
