This is where you start to run into the implications of selective replication.

You have now hit upon what I believe is the most crucial element of success in this space, and I think that Frederick would agree. It is the massive decentralization of these systems. To me the answer to your question is "Of course! Why would you do it any other way?" I believe that massively decentralized communities are going to appear everywhere on the Internet ... and they will form the foundation of Internet "consciousness" ... as humans begin to "trade" in memberships to communities, rather than sending URLs. Carver Mead spoke at the Gilder/Forbes conference ... amazing person to hear speak ... and he sees it! Scott C. Lemon
