Should admins be required to node as much or more than other noders?
Yes. One node written for every one killed or edited. 1 1.35% Yes. One node per week should be easy for an admin. 6 8.11% Yes. Two a year minimum. And hey, apply that to all noders! 14 18.92% No. An admin can have a dry spell like anyone else. 15 20.27% No. An admin is a noder like all others. 29 39.19% No. Editing and writing are orthogonal skills. 4 5.41% No. In fact, admins shouldn't be allowed to node; their writeups usually suck anyway. 1 1.35% None of the above. 4 5.41% Total 74 100.00% Old day logs never die.
