[WikiEN-l] To: Jimmy Wales - Admin-driven death of Wikipedia

[Fred Bauder]

I would not expect to survive either, but I still think it's a good  
idea. Actually I think it does not hurt for a new wave of hard asses  
to take over and let the old tired wore out hard asses regenerate for  
a while. As Stephen Gaskin once said (with respect to those who  
hoarded paper during the Caravan) "You are not the only one who knows  
how to keep toilet paper dry."
