Easy now. Surely, this 'cyber-community' (er... mmmph... go with it) can 
have no centre.
And anyway did not The Bard say (or *A* Bard, or *Some* Bard-y type entity, 
anyway):

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
the Falcon cannot hear the Falconer.
Things fall apart;
the centre cannot hold..."

So even if there WERE a centre, it couldn't bloody well hold anyway.

alan,
showing list-newcomers that this community embraces *Culture* and is not
(just?) a forum for ephemeral smarty-pantsery. [insertable wink emoticon 
option]
