Seven Questions, pt 1 I've been sitting on John O'Keefe's Seven Questions for weeks now, waiting for some time to open up to take a crack at them. Today's as good a day as any.

And then Starla chimed in: Three legged stool? So, you think that the leadership is a different post than the community post? Somehow separate and distinct? Oh, dear God, no.
