... I really wouldn't worry about "getting in," or who has "knighthood" 
(knights were in the Gentry, of course), or who is "Dumbledore," etc.  The 
goal is to produce the best discussion environment as possible. It's a pareto 
trade. If it works -- and there is no guarantee it will -- professors can talk 
about Wittgensteinian-related matters in a low-traffic, peer-interested sort of 
way. And we can pick up those discussions and contribute to them in here, with 
us. The goal is never status in the exchange or recognition. It's all about the 
ideas, only. Presumably, some of the profs might want to see how their idea or 
comment is being considered here. If the thing works, I bet you'll have some 
cross-dialog. It really is a nifty idea. I just need someone on the inside to 
help me sell it.

And as to anyone coming along and wanting to "take it," I don't think I would 
care. In fact, I could see the reverse happening. I think if I made the place 
comfy, people would be happy that someone set it up. Do you realize how much 
time all of this takes? 

Regards and thanks
