Thank you silky, I had some trouble my self with the idea of a single person appointing a moderator, of their choosing, i thought of the old line from one of the English royalty, that warned it's a bad thing to give Parlament the power to Make Kings, for then they also have the power to unmake kings..and when WordWind demured, she wasn't really listened to, publicly, so i wondered how effective she would be privately.
Likewise, there have been some very nasty email, and harranging activities via email (and months ago, i admit, i made that mistake once or twice, and have worked hard to reform.)
and finally, of course, there is in fact, an administrator, tho, she is powerless to take action (still) and even her appeals for volluntery actions have gone ignored-- So how some one else can accomplish what Jackie has clearly been unable to do, is beyond me.
(so much so, i had trouble articulating it.)

Hey, listen guys. I never said I wanted to be an administrator at all. And I don't want to be an administrator. We need to govern ourselves. The only thing I said I'd do was send Keiva a PM when he crossed the line, but I can't do that either. I've done what I can, and, until a new idea hits me--and it probably won't because I feel pretty dry here--I'm just going to hope that things will get better, plain and simple.
No, I don't see any need for anyone to administrate. I do see a hope for each of us to take care of ourselves. I know I, for one, have my hands full here in doing so.
Best regards,
Theresa

...can you tell me where twuwm got his nom?it's explained in http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=500and goes something like this: "...as to tsuwm, it comes from my webpage (see profile). I was once simply wm (wwftd master), but the day the wwftd was atman I became the supreme universal Wwftd Master! (tsuwm is also a Hebrew word meaning to fast)" (Wwftd stands for "Worthless word for the day", the title of his webpage.) Maybe the next question should be, What is "atman"?

Speaking of administration - have y'all seen this?
SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW ELEMENT!
University physicists have recently discovered the heaviest element known to science. The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 15 assistant neutrons, 70 vice-neutrons, and 161 assistant vice-neutrons. This gives it an atomic mess (sic) of 247. These 247 particles are held together in the nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction with which it comes in contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium added to one reaction caused it to take over four days to complete. Without the Administratium the reaction occurred in less than one second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Studies seem to show the atomic number actually increasing after each reorganization.
Research indicates that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate in certain locations such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.
Scientists warn that Administratium is known to be toxic, and recommend plenty of fluids and bed rest after even low levels of exposure.
