I'm not sure about dividing it up. Mark, are you there? What do you think?
Here's the statement I put together after last time:
> If for some reason I'm not able to monitor these boards as closely as usual, I may ask another member of the community to stand in for me. His or her main role would be to try to maintain an atmosphere of civility -- keeping an eye on what's going on (checking the boards at least every other day) and (if necessary):

> He or she wouldn't have access to registration information (such as email addressses); blocking is done by posting name. He or she would post under his or her usual name and not pretend to be me. He or she would also post an email address in order to be reachable directly.

How about that? I'd still be available (and maybe Mark could be, too?), so no one would be totally on their own...
