Yes, thank you Diane. It is very clear, and I somewhat agree with you. I agree that open communities should use open source *to the extent practical*, and I don't think open source will disappear if open communities do use non-open services.
But, instead of getting into an argument about it, an argument that generally has no end, I do want to say that I agree with the spirit of your statement. To the extent practical, we *should* use and support open source, because then others can build upon our work and we upon the the works of others.
