Undoubtedly people (Wikipedians) are surprised that there are so many 
readers who don't want to become Wikipedians in any sense. But we have 
to take that as a given. Assuming only that the UK readership is greater 
than that of the Daily Telegraph (which is to say more than 5% of the 
population), non-editors will outnumber editors by a huge factor. Job 
done, as far as gaining an audience is concerned. But the way the 
discussion goes after that is what bothers me. I'm certainly hoping for 
a more coherent view from the "grassroots", in part to displace annoying 
comments from people who should know better implying that the 
"grassroots" are the problem.
