Is it just the admim/checkuser/oversighter tools, or is it the whole affair with WP?

My analysis is that the project is going nowhere, just around in circles. With no goal in mind, how can Jimbo and the Foundation expect to keep the team together? Well you are in good company, many have been lost this last couple of years, the "saga" just goes on and on!

Checkuser must have been a pain in the butt, Jimbo should be made to do some of the dirty-work tool (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif)

You missed it yesterday. And yeah, pretty-much the whole deal. If I edit again, it'll likely be with a different account. I'm done.

(My last edit was to create [[Ballymagash]] and link it to [[Hall's Pictorial Weekly]]. Not many people will get that, but you likely will (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) )

I wish she would just give up (or ignore) adminship and become an ordinary editor, but I'm not sure she's capable of that.

Why? I was an 'ordinary editor' for ages before all that admin nonsense, and I spent my time editing Irish and medical articles. I'm still editing on other wikis without any problems, sysop bit or not.

Not sure what your point is here, EK??

Because you've been saying this kind of thing for such a long time, yet I always see you on here talking about your administrative activities.
