I would not be bitter.  Q-Link is still going, though it has slumped 
post Nov 5th.  This is understandable, as I have not had much time to 
devote to it, and the main goal was to be up and operational for the 
20th Anniversary.  Truly, it needs more work to be a self supporting 
community.

Still, people who are early adopters of stuff like Q-Link need to take a 
long view of participation.  I suspect it will be 6 months before Q-Link 
starts to support itself with a steady stream of people.
