As the net continues to grow and extend more into the world at large,
I think we're being exceedingly naive if we believe that everyone
is going to as honest or concerned about the "welfare of the net"
as "we've" been in the past.  There are lots of ways the network
can be abused, both by accident and on purpose.  I don't think
we've BEGUN to see the problems that are down the line.

However, some people think the network can just grow and grow
and grow, with ever more sites and ever more traffic, and still
stay the little "closeknit" family that we've tried to make it
up to now, without significant organizational changes.  I want
to see Usenet survive, but some people can't seem to understand
that our organizational techniques are not "scaling up" very well at 
this point and may need some changing!
