Extropian Self-Promotion

Kuro5hin has an article about free open-source information
sources (http://www.wikipedia.com/ and http://www.nupedia.com/)
out-competing going-closed information sources such as Britannica
(http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010718/tc/britannica_fees_2.html)

The article is here:

Given all of the self-proclaimed "experts" on the list it
would sure seem like there are articles we could contribute
to the "free" efforts (and at the same time promote Extropianism).
For example, I'm sure Mike could contribute an article on the
pros and cons of selling contraband hardware that only has
military uses or Anders could contribute an article about
proper behavior of foreign nationals at U.S. corporate facilities
considered "sensitive" to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Hmmmmm.... Let me think about this a minute... Do we really
want articles like this associated with Extropianism...?
