Wil,
Have you been introduced to Jimmy Wales yet?
I'd be most interested for you to take your quote about Greg Kohs to Jimmy on his talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&action=...) and ask him if he would agree with you.
Also, please note that here on wikimedia-l you are reaching only a small audience, you will likely get a wider audience at Jimmy's talk page, and therefore a wider variety of opinion.
We'd then be most interested in hearing about your findings.
Cheers,
Russavia
