It's not that it's competition. I simply think that a coworking space
like this does not belong on a list of hackerspaces.

If it were "cooperativespaces.com" or "officerentals.com", I'd have no
problem with it, but this is hackerspaces.org. it should be a list
people use to find hackerspaces.

I feel like it's getting awfully crowded, especially here, with things
that have very little to do with hackerspaces.

I'd love for atlanta to have 3 or 4 hackerspaces, especially because I
know that many of freeside's founding members don't use the space much
because they live in a different part of town. I just don't think that
an office rental scheme should be listed in the registry of
hackerspaces.
