Waitasec... was this list one that I participated in in the distant past? (I assumed David knows which one I'm speaking about.) If so, does this mean *I* am part of this secret cabal that dictates how Wikipedia is run?
Woke up this morning/Found I'd joined the Cabal.
In that case, do I have spend time thinking about what the cabal does next... or can I simply continue to spend most of my time working on articles? Thanks to one very insightful editor (who declined my offer to be nominated for Adminship because he felt he was not worthy), I've found a resource that allows me to write rather useful articles on towns in Ethiopia. In all seriousness, I think my skills would be put to better use there -- as long as people continue to listen when I voice a concern.
Writing an encyclopedia is a much better use of thinking processes than excess administrative wrangling is.
