I don't think that would happen. It's not a zero sum game. While there might be some duplication of information, it is far more likely that any drop off due to that (which I doubt would occur, everyone on the net is well-used to seeing the same info presented in several ways) would be far outweighted by promoting interests in clans and families among those who are already wearing kilts, and vice versa, promoting the wearing of kilts among those already interested in clans and families.

It's called "the information superhighway," not "the information bottleneck."
