19. yeah. --Jasonjason 20:01, 11 October 2008 (BST)
20. Karek is too strict and Boxy is too lenient. Better the devil I don't know, in this case. I would say this, though: Cheese (aka Krazy Monkey) has a tendency to jump to rulings and then (when criticised by more experienced sysops) say something along the lines of "yeah, you're probably right, I'll be more careful in future". How about you, as 'crat, if you get it, discuss all 'crat decisions fully with AHLG, before making rulings? In other words, cut in the middle man. Just my tuppence worth. --Funt Solo ^QT 20:47, 11 October 2008 (BST)
