YKY,

    I think that I'm going to take this opportunity to give up on this 
conversation for the following reasons:

>> Come on, there're no "obvious" reasons for this complex issue.

I have to disagree.  There *ARE* certain things that really should be obvious 
if you "get it".

>> To put it another way, I'm not going to be the "boss" under this system of 
>> collaboration.  I'm just going to be just another contributor among many.  
>> This is a scheme where we can work together without someone dominating 
>> anyone else a priori.

You clearly also don't get that *no one* with a real clue desires to be the 
"boss".  Being the boss (when done correctly) is a duty, not a personal 
benefit.  The only time I "want" to be the boss is a) to prevent bad things 
from happening and b) when everyone else has fulfilled -- or is going to 
fulfill -- their responsibility and it's my turn to do my share.  Given my 
personal druthers, I'd just as soon be an average worker without the added 
responsibilities.

<And if you have to be the boss to get enough money to make you happy, then 
that just proves that you really don't have a clue>

>> To organize average people to work together you have to give rewards. 

Finally, I really, *really* don't believe this either (unless you want to 
insist that the satisfaction of a challenge met or a job well done -- or the 
warm fuzzy that you get when you help someone -- are rewards).  You don't do 
much charity, do you . . . .
