Don't forget the proverb:

 Everytime you make something idiot-proof, some bastard re-invents the
 idiot!

In short, give up on making a system that everyone can/would use,
because you'll only end up with a system despised by everyone.

This doesn't mean there isn't some middle ground.

Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The network is a stochastic synchronicity generator.
