	loaded?  with what (or whom)?

	The vast majority of IETF participants, these days, are part of
commercial ventures.  whether a given business qualifies as
"entrepreneurial" is a subjective matter best left to marketing and
business researchers.  Whether it is any more fair to sample only
'entrepreneurs' rather than a broader mix of Internet folk is a point that
survey researchers would almost certainly question.
