[WikiEN-l] one more thing

I too have appreciated Anthere's contributions; since I have made a couple 
of hasty comments on the whole "mediator" thing, I just want to add that my 
previous comment was not intended in any way to question Anthere's 
intentions or status in the community.  I definitely welcome discussion 
concerning a mediator committee.  Personally, I have serious reservations 
about the anonymity.  For now, my only objection is that I think it is 
premature to begin a call for nominations to such a committee, unless there 
has first been a thorough discussion of the idea.  I am still a little 
confused -- I apologize, I just do not have the time to back-track and 
reconstruct the history of the matter, so I am not sure whether it was 
Jimbo, Anthere, or someone else who first asked for nominations or 
suggestions.  I just don't think there should be nominations until 
something close to a working consensus on the existence and nature of the 
committee develops.
