"His authority is based on trust" is a
perfectly acceptable answer, if
that's what it is. But how does that help all the newbies who haven't
even heard of him? Surely we can define this a bit more precisely.
If newbies haven't yet heard of him, they will soon enough.
I realise that in my original post it perhaps sounded
like I was
challenging his authority. I'm not. I'm just trying to understand it,
and understand what is different now from, say, 2 years ago. We hear
from him much less frequently, but when we do, it seems to be more
disruptive.
I don't have answers to all these questions, but if I were actually interested,
I would ask Jimbo directly in private email, where this discussion belongs.
