> Another issue is whether they can be impartial posters. I'm not saying they're not, but that's less of an issue because other posters can provide support.
Ouch.

Ouch.
> Regarding the community as a whole, if there's more sharing of power, there may be less splitting (seeing administrators as bad and posters as good) and more of a feeling of shared ownership and that we're all in this together. But power and authority will be issues no matter who has them.
Or there'll be the same splitting, but more people on one side of the split. People who came here for support and to be part of something. Not to be separate.
> If anyone has any suggestions regarding a middle way, or another different way, I'm open to suggestions. Or at least try to be. :-)
I suggest a replacement benevolent monarch with similar ideas of civility as your own.
> New deputies are a key ingredient, so I definitely want to get back to them. I'm really sorry that's been stalled, and grateful for their patience.

Sustainability is the real key, Dr. Bob. Sustainability.
