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. -peter
