Not at all. This has been very productive!

If anything we have discovered in this thread that there are two 
distinct views of Drupal--those that see it primarily for content 
management and those that see the community emphasis (and perhaps social 
software features) as more important. This informs us we should be aware 
that our potential audience for Drupal is likely also to be similarly 
divided. Consequently, marketing documentation that targets one or the 
other exclusively will be much less effective.

I also think I'm seeing a trend that those that see Drupal primarily as 
a content management system are more likely to see "social software" as 
an empty buzzword. I hope no one takes this personally when I say this, 
but we need to focus on whether or not those that see Drupal as mainly a 
community-building/collaborative tool think of social software as a 
useful term since it's that audience which the term targets.
