I sampled SpecialListadmins  Admins  and     Jun    Jun    Apr   prior  Feb   Jun    Jun    Dec    Jan    Jun    Sep    Jun   prior Jun     Jun    May    Jun    Jun    Jun     Jun     Jun    Jun    Apr   prior Mar   May   prior May    active  inactive or slightly active   active  If this is roughly accurate then the number of active admins is probably around  or less I dont know how many total editors were active in the last  days While some admins involve themselves in setting policies which anyone may participate in others seem to confine themselves to truly janitorial work For that reason Im not sure if bureaucracy is the best way to describe the corps of admins or the dangers threatened by their expansion The more plausible fear I think is that too many admins will result in a police state with more spedup deletes heavyhanded blocks and POV enforcement I am certainly opposed to any movement in the direction of stifling unpopular POVs Im not sure that the number of admins is the major factor though Another view which I dont endorse either is that having more admins broadens involvement and reduces the relative power of any one admin I think that the most important issues are probably the rules and procedures official and unofficial that admins follow andor enforce on others Those powers should stay limited    Also Thanks for your support for my adminship Maybe we should limit the number of admins to   Cheers
