I guess you can't hire someone to write about you in Wikipedia.

I'm still not clear why Setupbuilder isn't an item on that site.

They should hire lexicographers instead of editors.

SetupBuilder is an item on that site -- but a "deleted" item <bg>.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SetupBuilder

"FisherQueen" ("The Editor"; I bet an unemployed teacher) even "protected"
the page so it can't be recreated.

Of course, InstallShield, Wise, etc. are listed.

But we are still mentioned here:
