And does this maybe put off the silent majority from posting?

I saw Jaron Lanier speak a few weeks ago and just watched this new vid up on the Guardian ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/feb/21/my-bright-idea-jaron-lanier ) and it reminded me I wanted to ask this question, mostly as I'm concerned that DiS is maybe perceived as being this cliquey elite, which is never what I set out to create but it feels, like everything online, that you can only create the foundations, and attempting to control what it becomes is futile... and hopefully you will have noticed that I don't do much in the way of oar sticking, censorship or squabble management, and i think the site is richer but maybe less inclusive for it but would be really curious of people's thoughts, especially from any long time readers, rare posters...

is part of DiS' chart that it isn't inclusive?
