<My personal view is that Net-based ventures are best run as benevolent dictatorships. With people getting peer-acceptance on the basis of the work they put in.
Too much of politics ruins the possiblities. For instance, if Cybermatrimonials seems to playing a socially-useful role, then I see no reason for an election to be held to decide how to run it "democratically". Along the way I would surely get tired of it, and would love to hand it over to someone else -- but provided that someone shares the vision it was set up with, and is going to run it as well, if not better.> [FN, April 26] This make a lot of sense to me. <There's no democracy in an electoral sense here. If arrogance creeps in, it would have to be beaten back with competition. Volunteers are always welcome; after all, we're not fighting over an empire here but rather working to build the difficult-to-create social capital. FN>[April 26] On goanet we sure do seem to be fighting over SOMETHING! What it is I dont know yet. I am also not sure what social capital is being built. But, hey, good luck with the efforts!
