There has been ample discussion on how to establish these links on this list, such as ID numbers stored in a central DB.
So while there may be some of everything, the articles that best reflect the "though of the day" would be linked more often, and the fringe ones would be linked less.
The classifiers, who would be independent of the articles themselves, could make whatever word lists or directory systems they want, linking to the articles they prefer. Someone doing an eastern religion directory would certainly include links to articles that are very different than those included by a space-exploration specialist.
The idea is that either of these people would find articles relating to their entries, of various level of value and quality, to be sure, yet in abundance.
As far as GNE being a social experiment, I doubt that not. As far as its ending up like usenet, I'd like to know what usenet has ended up being, exactly.

Well, I can't agree with that cos I don't see the future...
