No, actually I didn't mean that.  He took me the right way.  I think
we can take him on his word that he's supported for the position --
I'm sure if it isn't true, we'll hear back quickly!

I just meant that it's not a good situation for it.wikipedia to be
left with no admin, or with only one, and so I think we should see if
we can find several others to do the job.

The big danger of a single admin is that there's no checks and
balances on power that way, and there might be a tendency for people
to misunderstand the position to be one of power and control.
