It seems that people are lately getting suspicious of Jimbos intentions.
There are many people, at least I have heard from and of many, that are
not too certain that Jimbos stated goals at Wikipedia (free information)
and Wikia (a for-profit company) are compatible. Of course, Jimbo has to
live and make a living and I don't have any problem. However, it might
be time to seperate his duties at Wikipedia and Wikia and cut all ties
they may have. I would welcome such a move, however don't believe it to
be absolutely necessary.

Have a good night,
