Yet we persist in doing it here -- and worse, because we have no idea who our "menial employees" are, or whether we have one person filling several jobs -- using the excuse that adminship is "no big deal."
Only if we want to create a culture that glorifies article creators and despises maintenance workers ...

Gracenotes, you need to read what you're responding to. Someone else made the analogy of admins and editors to "menial employees." It was just an analogy; it said nothing about article creators v. maintenance workers. The hyperbole has to stop, because it's just an attempt to stoke things up.
Slim Virgin,
I owe you an apology. I mistakenly attributed the use of the word "menial" to you. I see that was incorrect. In fact, having read your past contributions to the List, I was struggling to believe you had used the term. I'll pay closer attention to the order of the posts in a long thread from now on.
That's okay, Marc. It's easy to get posts mixed up. Thanks for the apology.
