Just because someone isn't going out of his way to make himself visible 
in the way that some admins do does not mean that he is doing nothing to 
keep Wikipedia ticking.  Your attitude is very broadly disrespectful of 
a wide range of contributors.

Have you forgoten that this thread started with complaints about admin 
burnout.  The general solution that was suggested was to loosen up the 
extreme restrictions on becoming a sysop.  But those content with the 
present state of things argue loudly against it.  You can't have it both 
ways.  Stop complaining about being overworked, or do something about 
the problem.
