Though agreeing with Philip's call for self-criticism, moderation and
restraint, I find Eli's point below quite valid. A successful endeavor
of this magnitide requires all different sorts of people: leaders,
managers, working bees, PR guys, politicians, negotiators, coffee
boys... and mad scientists. Eli has chosen the mad scientist role,
other people will fill the other necessary roles.
