I think that without your leadership at the start of the project, Larry, the whole thing would have fallen apart. Your most important contribution was getting the community to follow the priniciple of the neutral point of view. But now that we have a strong framework set up, it seems that the Wikipedia community is self-sustaining.
If I never mentioned it before... thanks!

In case anyone is wondering, I agree. The continuing success of Wikipedia in my absence--which doesn't surprise me--makes it hard to justify my return as a paid lead/organizer of Wikipedia, at least not anytime soon and not as long as the project is plowing ahead more or less as it always has. I'm under no illusions about that, and I'm happy for the project. It's a great thing Jimbo has made it his hobby and is supporting it as he always has.
Nupedia is a different matter, of course.
I'm still unemployed, by the way.
