A common complaint by these that have much to say but show little interest in contributing of their valuable free time to keep Wikipedia ticking.
Administrators perform an admirable job and a thankless one, by the look if it.

Maybe so, but I do contribute some of my valuable free time to keeping Wikipedia ticking, on top of a an ungodly huge family, full time job, and a career as an artist, so your general comment does not apply to me specifically. So what's the point when it doesn't answer me or the comment? To disparage those who cannot devote huge amounts of time solely to Wikipedia?
Wikipedia cannot be what it is intended to be if designed only for those with plenty of free time to devote to keeping Wikipedia ticking, because that's not anyone, that's just a little bit of the anyone who could possibly be editing Wikipedia.
