Wow, this is an annoying comment system. You lose your initial comment if you're not signed in. Here goes again.

It seems that copy editing didn't cross the mind of the interviewer or the subject. Lots of obvious typographic mistakes here. I'll be happy to fix them for you, for $10.

Anyway, I wanted to express my disagreement with the impression that the film presented Jimmy Wales "in nothing but a fair light". Did you watch the entire film? By the end of the story, Wales was whimpering out of the spotlight in a -- rightfully -- sad and pathetic way. He looked lonely, lazy, and out of luck. Meanwhile, Larry Sanger -- the actual founder of Wikipedia, for those who take a minute to actually review its history -- seemed utterly vibrant, playing a happy tune on his fiddle. That's the message I got, anyway.
