Lee, it is interesting that you mention Ayn Rand. I was thinking this 
too when I read over Max's post, and poor Jimmy Wales and all of those 
people pledging to Objectivism. Yikes. Anyway, I think there is 
definitely something to make sure we exclude from a redefinition of 
hero from the context of Objectivism, though I cannot immediately place 
my finger on it, and I seem to remember an extropian somewhere on this 
list that might be able/willing to regurgitate this nugget-argument.
