This is a bit off the topic, but it came up and I can't let it pass. KQ said recently that Cunctator is the project's *conscience*. Perhaps KQ was just trying to be nice, but I think that is actually unfair to the rest of us, who like to think we have a principled approach to the

project

as well. It also accords Cunc respect as somehow *the* representative of a *particularly* moral point of view, to whom the rest of us ought to pay special heed--I disagree with that and I enjoin you not to accord *any* one person such special respect. (I'm not sure KQ meant to imply all

this

by "conscience of the project," and I also doubt, in his reasonableness and modesty, that Cunc would reject the description when cashed out as I have done, but I just want this to be clear.)

eh, well, no I didn't mean all that, though I guess it was all implied by my sloppy writing. :-) All I meant was that Cunc, of all of us, seems most concerned with abuses of authority. I wouldn't like to appoint anyone an 'authority' on anything, and certainly I like to think of people as generally principled.
