A good rule of thumb is that one out of every ten people is not a complete moron.
One person may be able to keep a discussion under control with 9 morons
in the room, but could 10 control a conversation with 90 morons hanging around?
You can see it's a non-linear relationship.
How many users are on slashdot now? You'll see the quality degrade anywhere there
is a huge userbase.
Even bad PR can be good, though. And anyone with half a mind to be able to find
the plan9 web site, should find it's content informative.
