A person is really supposed to participate in 2^(N-1) groups?  Where N 
is some number bigger than 4?  With human short term memory only being 7 
+/-  2 items?

Could someone please tell me any body of source code that is 
representative of Web 2.0, and comparable in engineering depth to a web 
browser?   We still have no web standard with ubiquitous cross-platform 
support for mobile code and no public standard and popular 
cross-platform infrastructure for multimedia.   What exists is third 
party stuff like Flash and platform specific interfaces from dominant 
vendors like Microsoft.   Could we maybe have a Web 1.1 or Web 1.5 
first?  Pretty please?
