Okay, virtually everyone who has “nominated” candidates for new adminships has mentioned me, so I need to address this issue directly.

The short version is that, compared to the last time this question came up, I have less time but more willingness.

I have less time because, in addition to working for a living and my seasonal photography hobby, I have recently started reading OC competition stories on a significant scale, which is something I haven’t really done in the past, and I have also been trying to pick up the pace with LTDI, which I am hoping to launch on Labor Day weekend. (More about that in a blog of my own.) More importantly, and I’m surprised it took this long, my DW has begun to complain about how much time I spend here. Not on the wiki specifically, mind you, but on the computer generally.

On the other hand, I have more willingness because, first and foremost, I’m inclined to lend a hand with the library cataloguing so it doesn’t overwhelm Reddy.

Last time, I was also ambivalent about an old fart like me assuming a position of power on a website run by and for kids. Offsetting that is the fact that you guys have made it pretty clear—even more so than last time—that I would be a popular choice in spite of that, or possibly even because of it. Not only that, but it’s somewhat common for one user or another to react with surprise upon learning that I’m not an admin already.

While I can’t say how active I would be with adminly tasks, I’ll continue to be reasonably accessible because I at least “check in” pretty much every day. (I’m a little OCD…okay, a lot OCD…about wanting to keep abreast of current events.)

Bottom line: I do not seek adminship, but I would accept it with thanks if it were offered unbidden.
