No one knows what will become of the WELL, the venerable online community that erstwhile owners Salon.com have put on the auction block. One group of users is pledging cash for a co-op buyout. Now another group has incorporated a for-profit entity that says it will raise capital to make a cash offer to SALN.

    That’s the way to do it, see, threaten to run something as a non-profit, and it will upset Capitalists so much they’ll buy it out of spite ;)

    Cory I think your lede here misrepresents Wagner’s posting, where he wrote “Some of these same users …” and your lede says “another group”
