That's an awfully generous way of putting it. If you're no longer interested in being a list moderator, you could always step down. There are plenty of dedicated and active volunteers willing to help moderate this list. I'm not sure if others feel the same way, but I would be very glad to see you resign as I feel you're some mixture of an absentee landlord and a mandarin, clinging to this role for no particularly good reason. Unfortunately, neither of these labels fits quite right and I've yet to find the perfect word to capture this pattern of behavior.
