“A man may die yet still endure if his work enters the greater work. Time is carried upon a current incepted by forgotten deeds. Events of great moment are but the culmination of a single carefully placed thought. As all men must thank progenitors obscured by the past so we must endure the present that those who come after may continue the greater work.” — 40K Rogue Trader

In reply to David Gerard. I agree. I think that even if we fail or fall, The Mission remains. I've actually been having pretty good luck lately recruiting people into it.

The Mission is not just us - we need to convince everyone else, too. Fortunately, it's a pretty damn good mission.

Tatere once told me how the internet had changed his life: That it gave him every library, every lecture hall and neighborhood pub of the world 24-7. Of course in those days our outlook for the internet was utopian and full of promise, and clearly not all of our hopes have come to pass. But Wikipedia seems to be keeping that vision alive and well – and I’m glad to hear it’s not just for us middle class white people.
