Don't put words in my mouth, Pete. "Commons is broken" is a Jimmy Wales

It's something many people have said, and I do apologize for my mistake --
I thought you were one of them. I am very happy to learn that I was wrong
about that, and appreciate the clarification.
I do think Commons has some ways to go, though,
Agree 100%. This is something I work on, if not every day, probably every
week. I do think that progress is being made, on adult material and in many
other areas. But you're right, there's lots of work to do in developing a a
shared understanding of what issues are at play and how to go about
addressing them. The point of I'm trying to make in this discussion is, we
do a lot more good by focusing on what's working, and then expanding on
that, than we do by getting all accusatory about the things that are *not*
working. (And such accusations often seem to be accompanied by an
unjustified assumption that the bad somehow outweighs the good.)
