"The fragility of the system is based on the tensions between sucking in volunteers to contribute, yet not having conflicts tear them apart. In this regard, I think Misplaced Pages does much more poorly than is generally believed. But people have the impression that it does well, because it draws from an expanding pool of new fodder to replace those who it burns out or drives away.
