It seems Weyes has left. What a disgrace. We've never had such a diligent RC patroller, and he was more right than wrong in his crusade against excessive external links.

We don't fail them as much as they simply burn out.
Before they burn out, they increasingly feel as if they are the lone bulwark against the teeming hordes, and feel increasingly unsupported. But are we truly doing anything to them except not be as fanatical as they?
