    Interesting question you pose Michael..  I might add another dimension to
    it by suggesting the 'layering' of administrators/wizards/janitors/et
    al..  My experience, limited as it is at this point compared to many of
    you, has been that even the 'staff' of MOOs are 'layered'.. each bringing
    his/her own talents/ideas/foibles/creativity to a MOO.  Some delving into
    coding, creative describing, building, verb-ing, @helping others,
    socializing, drawing ascii art..

    What happens to the creative flow/energy that seems to give 'life' to a
    MOO when the 'staff' is evaluated by the number of objects one owns, the
    number of generics one has ported (with permission of course), the
    ability to be an excellent coder?  What happens when the abilities of the
    'staffer' reside in the artistic, idea-generating or communications realm?

    It would seem to me that 'those who use the tools' and 'those who make
    them' would apply to those who care for our MOOs as well, blending
    talents and creativity with practical, ordered thinking.
    Hopefully resulting in the growth of the framework of an environment
    where all might find a place to express themselves if only to sit for a
    while and share a bit of themselves with others.
