I am certainly happy to carry on a rational dialogue with any group or
individual.  I think people can disagree sharply without resort to flames or
schisms.

I'll admit myself to being so far underwhelmed by the Oekon. group's general
set of ideas, but like us all, things evolve.

If someone asked me what group of thinkers most resembles the core P2P
thinking I have seen here...I would have to go with the Wikinomics blog
team:  http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/

But I may well be saying I have greater sympathy with their views than an
objective WE have more sympathy with their views.  I do see many common
themes.
