Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say, being an admin is not about the buttons... but about your attitude and commitment to the project.  I firmly believe that you can be an admin without the tools or passing an RfA.  An RfA is just the means to confir what, IMO, should already be evident through one's actions.  If one is acting like an admin, one is an admin, regarless of whether or not they have a globy thingy on their page.
