Actually, if you check my userpage, you'll note that I am *not* a
member of the Anarchists for a Past, Present, and Future World of
Goodness.

So don't tar me with that brush! APPFWG may believe in using giant
robots to convert Australia into a series of human-scale chessboards,
games played over and over by unwilling slaves, but I sure don't.

Seriously, I think that most of the powers reserved to admins should
be more accessible to many more users and that all of the powers
should be more easily attainable.
