While I won't entirely disagree, I do think the paranoia serves its 
purpose.  In addition to being the most paranoid, Wikimedia is also the 
most _successful_ of the online projects I've been involved in---I've 
seen quite a few other projects go pretty bad after money and power 
hierarchies began to become heavily involved.
