More like stepping aside the DBB deserves and active admin which I have not been.
And LotharBot is a prtty active member and more importantly pretty level headed and should handle things for to the benefit of the DBB and all users in general.

That was a cute way of saying "didn't have admin powers but everyone thought I did".
I was an admin back in 2001-2002. Got married, left the DBB, and had my powers removed (as a security thing.) A couple years later I was posting again. I'd tell people to get on topic and they would; I'd tell people certain things weren't allowed and they'd listen... but I didn't actually have any moderator or admin powers. One of those post-editing controversies came up and I got blamed, so I told people "I haven't edited anybody's posts in a year and a half." Sickone had my back on that -- he knew I didn't have the power to do it. But he was handing out some custom titles, and decided on "ghost admin" for me. Which just added to the legend...
