cheers john.

we can definitely move forward and do even better things than we have already
done without the noise.  yes we need some improvements and better tools.  but
that is part of what evolt is all about.  a better web,  by web people!  let's
continue to build it instead of hashing out how to control it.  doesn't need
controlled.  just needs critical mass guided in the right direction.

just keep your toes clear of the moving mass!
