Want to know why it feels like "Mrs. Degree" has most pull? It's because she does.

She's the most consistent moderator. She does nearly all of the regular maintenance work. WtKnight does too, but Mrs. Degee is on her ish keeping this place afloat and out of admin nonsense.

So when someone has shown continued competency and dedication to something... they EARN high regard, benefit-of-the-doubt deference, and more weight on casual matters. That's HOW RESPECT WORKS. That's how one rises to be leader!

Learn something from Mrs. Degree!!!!
