Swikis have live text boxes to append to page with no login.
Logins ARE required to edit existing pages and create new pages.
Uploads are supported.

I can't argue with that, except that you can't link from one post into 
another on a newsgroup.

On a swiki, you can link to another page with *Another Page*, and to a 
location on another page with *Another Page at location*.  There's more, just 
look around.

Excuse me if this is a rant, but I'm pretty stoked on the swiki concept. 
Writing with hyper-links and no HTML, unlocks my inner journalist, and lets 
me be very creative. When I sit down to do email now and work the 
Newsgroups, I keep a session open to my swiki for links to canned answers. 
I can be brief and completely informative, without missing important 
details. An important consideration for an old geek like me. See:
