If we wish to join forces (and to be clear, that's my preferred option) it behoves us to enable the Darwins of the world. Alternately (and NOT my preferred option) lets decide that we are pursuing separate goals and find other ways to support each other. > (Generally: When a net is to wide it can get teared up.)
