Sort of a tangential topic from the timidguy case, which seems to be an issue of paid editing and Jimbo's ever lasting hate of it. I know we had the Kohs issue in the past but what's his issue with paid editing?

Nobody is permitted to make money off of Wikipedia, except by the grace of Jimbo. Fairly simple.

I thought it was that Larry Sanger was a paid editor and said he had a lot to do with the creation of Wikipedia. Therefore Jimbo does not like paid editors.
