He also says the money is running out.  I wouldn't pay that any mind.  
As a personal opinion of Sanger's it's fine.  As an indictment of 
Wikipedia's content policies, it's a bit flaky, really. As a comment on 
the enforcement of the content policies, it might be supported at least 
anecdotally from stuff on the site. As some sort of bid for someone to 
support CZ solely as an alternative to WP, it looks a bit desperate.  
Anyway, Citizendium's future is now in other hands; I've not been 
impressed with Sanger since the days of editing "Larry's Text" (and that 
dates me for sure).  Which has never undermined my admiration for his 
pioneer work on WP, but in the perspective (as I have said before) that 
he apparently misunderstands what was achieved.  So this would be more 
of the same, I think.
