Adminship is supposedly not a big deal, but it is. This is even more clear when you look at Requests for Bureaucratship, where many people vote oppose because "we don't need more bureaucrats". I know this is off-topic, but I really think we should be looking into the RfA process as well as AfD, because RfA appears to be becoming the new VfD (yes, VfD). Last time, it was the "in" thing to bash VfD. Now, it's the "in" thing to bash RfA, as anyone who spends some time on our IRC channels should notice. This is worrying.
Never underestimate the overwhelming power of stupidity. In more dangerous circumstances some of these people woud be candidates for Darwin Awards. :-)
Being someone who votes oppose to RFBs if he thinks there isn't need for new bureaucrats, you might want to be careful about what you say to a mailing list. You aren't sending a private email to your buddy here.
??? I'm not too sure what you are addressing. If I were voting for this sort of thing in Wikipedia I would likely take a stronger stand than you about the need for fewer bureaucrats AND admins. As long as I'm not a candidate for anything, I don't need to worry about the outcome of any such vote.
