But... I mean, I agree, but isn't it inevitable that some people aren't
going to want to be as involved with the decision-making process, just by
nature of their personality or whatever?  Without being disenfranchised by
the community, that person automatically has less power (by choice, but
still less power) than those who participate more fully and often?
