Roy,
I had the same thought and was about to vote the way you did. Then I
reconsidered because I believe (perhaps incorrectly) that we will NOT get a lot
of subscribers that are not community members. The few non-community folks we
get will hopefully be net contributors to the discussions. We can always clamp
down if it becomes necessary. Wishful thinking perhaps but there you go.
Nice but optimistic. If things go sour, you won't be able to change the rules in mid-air. You are likely to lack the wherewithal, the will or both. Moreover, you can't count on *everyone* to be decent and civilized although the vast majority will be.
