People generally think that if Bekka were to leave p2pu it would fall apart, which is why in the past we have considered renaming p2pu to the Kahn academy but that seemed to create too much confusion with other initiatives. Bekka really is the heart and soul of p2pu; any users that are frustrated with the automaton p2pu.org can sometimes appear to be pass by Bekka.
