Eh? I don't remember calling for two types of sysops. I've only advocated for 
sysops to have the ability to block vandals who have happened to log-in. The 
particular method by which I proposed this was simple; allow sysops the 
ability to see the IPs of logged-in users. 

I still think this is the best solution. Perhaps our previous disagreement was 
based on the above misunderstanding? I would have opposed a two-level sysop 
scheme too.
