Being a fan of something is not always condusive to dispassionate research. I have a durable interest in the model, which sometimes has been show to be very effective or which sometimes can consume large amounts of time and energy without producing any documentation of results.

I did not so indicate, but.... I would need references or citations to accurately discuss my perspective of things that otherwise I can only know about through your representations.
> Like I say though, I've never known anywhere that is free, that has people so adamant that they want the rules their way and not the owners. I've never known it in a pub, or a club, or an art gallery either.I could cite several on-line communities with ownership structures similar to this one and in which there is more debate over how they are operated, and which have much more structured systems of adjudicating those matters that arise for debate. But I am not here to provide information about other communities -- i'm primarily interested here in unique aspects of how this one is operated.
