Having proved (to myself) I could shut up here for a month - I will comment.
Predictably -  I am afraid 

Open source versus closed source seems to me somewhere around number 8 on
the list of issues in respect to assessing worthwhile technologically
derived/connected "educational materials", versus worthless such materials,
versus actively destructive such materials.

Where might a self-proclaimed intelligent person go to discuss with other
such persons  1 through 7, without the diversion of 8?

Is there an 8 don't make it right crowd to plug into?
