It is a reasonable question to ask if it's possible to introduce
commercial electronic projects in a big way to the Internet and not
lose the good things Gordon has seen and wants to keep. I think the
answer is yes, and resisting the commercialization isn't a good thing.
If we can keep what we have now and expand in new directions, then
the expansion is by definition not bad, and I think that's possible.
