You really think so Steve? The Porsche mailing lists have 34,000 subscribers
and it seems to me the notion of inviting the world to vote on how the
Interent will be run (especially in light of all the "outreach" talk
that's bandied about) will have a much greater auduience than 
a bunch of Porche owners. Anticipating 5000 users just weems wacky;
if it were me I'd may sure it could work for a million with
a contingency plan in place if/whe it exceeded that.
