You are basically correct, but at this point, it seems worth it to support just
as a proof of concept.  If in a month or a decade we have to migrate elsewhere,
that's fine in my book.  It seems from the wiki that the profit/non-profit
aspect is still not set in stone.  And if Bruce Perens gets involved, that
could seriously help.

Though do note that slashdot always had on every page that comments were owned
by the poster.

Personally I'd like to see something that looks exactly like slashdot, but
with a distributed usenet backend.  Maybe a commercial slashcode UI front-end
with advertisements that profit the web-front-end hoster, but with anyone able
to interface to the distributed usenet backend.  Yes, that is total pipe dream,
but maybe in a hundred years someone will get around to it...
