Ant - did you see my response to Looxix's comments on his page?

Yes, I just read it. It is clearer.

Have you had any contact with the Mediator? It does fit into the idea somewhat and could develop into something useful, but I think problem users need people to stick up for them so I am thinking about User advocate? to add some balance to what the mediator does and to provide a voice for those who oppressed.

I first read about her this morning on the ML. I had rather little online time these days (and it should not really improve before the end of the month, and with the slowlyness, I just drop following things). I will go now.

Actually, I just discovered User talk:Anthere/mediator...Did not know of that page existence...
