Did I happen to mention that Israel is in Asia?
Oz, I am sorry to tell you that under my plan the only way Australia would be given a seat is if it is combined with New Zealand, Antartica, Micronesia, and the more heavily-crowded areas of Brooklyn.

Or are you trying to say people should be discouraged from being proactive and trying to develop ideas to improve this community further just so that the other members don't feel that they would have to do more?

Of course there is no limit on the time you CAN put into it, but just like in any team, it's simply not possible to do certain things without the rest of the team.

Any team needs people who put more effort into developing new initiatives than people who just sit and wait what is presented to them.
I hope we can agree on that.
All I said is that I could imagine to be one of those proactive people and that I would be willing to invest time in that.
I hope you would not be opposed to that

Well, let me see if I can figure out what ScottC is trying to say.
TalkBoard is like Congress, you can do as much work as you want, talk among the members, research, create proposals, etc. But when the time comes to actually vote and present proposals, there is only a limited number of times that you can do it.
Unlike moderators, which are more like cops on the beat, we can do as much as we are willing to invest in FT.
Which I have been taking a vacation from 90% of my moderator duties
But who knows, maybe I have the whole thing wrong
