If you don't like the way things are run, you can always leave...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I quite like the way things are being run here, thank-you, and I am certainly happy that someone else has to deal with the nitty-gritty of keeping the server running, the OS patched, the bills paid, the connectivity up and a million other mind-numbing details.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a member of [pmdev] and so I get to peek behind the curtain. It's pretty cool to be able to do that, and I have even posted a couple of patches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do a bit of [Nodes to consider|housekeeping] from time to time, and I try to make sure recently posted nodes are approved as often as possible when I'm around.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's power enough for me. Although I must admit I lust after the power to [editors|wield the dustpan and broom].&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've always been very curious about Americans' propensity to squabble over the perceived &lt;i&gt;misuse&lt;/i&gt; or not of &lt;i&gt;public&lt;/i&gt; money. I have to say it's always baffled me. In this particular case, I think every cent is money well spent.&lt;/p&gt;
