`  I just wanted to apologize for starting all of this without your input and catching you unaware. My first post was kind of a spur of the moment thing, and I decided that it would be best to summarize my thoughts in an essay. I was going to wait for your input before posting it, but I found out that you were gone, so I decided to post it. After that, I kind of just forgot about you. Also, nobody is calling for you to step down (I'm a tad surprised that nobody has asked me to step down), and the messages at WT:FLC were mostly jokes. I'll try to wait for you to return before doing anything else (like adding a new criterion).   `
