When I see Rick's signature on a mailing list post I am already 
predisposed to give it minimum credibility.

However, I can help you nevertheless my brother, please join the IRC channel (as a matter of fact if Rick is reading this I'd like you also to join because I wish to discuss my POV with you).

Wikipedia has far too many sysops.  Too many are prone to use that 
status as a means for enforcing a POV, and acting theron like 
self-appointed policemen.  There are enough now to be able to work 
together to succeed in their efforts.  If a person is going to be a 
sysop, he needs to be held to a higher standard of behaviour than an 
average user.  I would support any move to reduce the number of sysops.
