jdd, I think you didn't get my point. I was talking about "leaders", not about system admins, moderators, sys ops, maintainers or whatever. Don't take it personally, but I (that's of course only my opinion, others might have a very different opinion) would not consider you as a "leader".
may I say that as a teacher and politically involved people I once studieds group management. I know how somebody can become a leader, but I hate that. I learned that to be able to prevent some to do so. A group can be managed to let one people command (commander in chief - what a bad title for a TV movie :-), but it can also be managed to make the people give they best. of course the second is the only usable here. let's try to do so jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
