> Michael, I wouldn't underestimate the "I'm being exploited" feeling for
people either leaving, or failing to join up. In Wikipedia's early years, we
were exploiting ourselves, as it were. But the more of a corporate structure
the Foundation assumes, the greater the sense that we're working for
something in which we have no input. There will be a tipping point that
differs for each individual, and they may not even express it in those
terms.
