We have a number of folks posting on wikien-l that are not only not administrators but quite tiresome. An admin-l list offers more opportunity of a genuine dialogue.

Then ban them. Does anybody remember nupedia? It sounds like your trying to re-create that, except w/o the experts...
Disenfranchising the majority is not going to make the wiki a better place, nor is hiding yourselves away in an ivory tower. The role of admiship is needs to be changed or removed, its a part of the problem, not a solution. The wikipedia is supposedly built upon consensus, rather than oligarchic values, altho I must say this institutionalisation of cliques Kelly Martin lauds is really quite ominous.
