Last month someone said Jayjg could go on missing wikipedians after a month and so now he is. Supposedly he has some real life personal stuff he's busy with. Anyone know what?

It would be tough to slip that one through without anyone noticing. It appears that by using this search format you get a dump right from the permissions database. Someone new with checkuser and oversight would stand out, which means that Jayjg under a new screen name would have to get root access and use the SQL commands directly. Even assuming that he's competent to do this without crashing the database, I don't think anyone apart from Jimbo would go along with this. It's one step too far in the direction of non-transparency, even for the cabal. I suspect that this is the real dilemma for the cabal: How can we let Jayjg continue his undercover work now that everyone is watching him?
