Interesting RfA observation maybe Maybe interesting only to me but I got to wondering at the idea that the so called RfA regulars are a somewhat powerful crowd I went back to my own RfA and looked through the names of those who expressed opinions and while I knew some were no longer around I was actually interested to see quite a large number are nowhere to be found and indeed a few are indef blocked No way to capture those statistics easily I would think and not sure it s interesting for everyone but I wonder if there s anything to be made of the fact that regulars or not at the point they opine those who participate in RfA may no longer be around after not too much time anyway The conclusion to draw perhaps might point at a harder gauntlet which might not serve us well
