At first, that was the thought, but that was because DB borrowed the notion from live chat, where the dynamics are quite different. My intention is to try to figure out something that works in this environment, with help from all of you. It surely won't satisfy all, perhaps none, but I hope we can collectively arrive at minimal governance with maximum positive effect for all. And I'm sure that no matter what is done, some people will disagree about whether we have arrived there or not. I guess I should point out that I will have ultimate veto power over anything I code -- that's the perogative of the inventor. But the community ultimately gets to decide if it wants to *use* it, which is what ultimately matters. I'll also add that I'm looking at this with an eye toward David's ideas about disputation forums on the net. I'm interested in seeing that sort of thing work, as it would appear to fit nicely as an item in my toolchest for the new venture I'm working on.
