Not sure what you're getting at.
1. "Actually, some sysops should work smarter, not harder. If an admin has the ability to form community consensus where she sees dissent, identify controversial issues and resolve them before they become pressing, she doesn't actually have to appear to do a whole lot to achieve an invaluable task in keeping a wiki afloat and running. And she needn't do any mainspace edits to achieve that. I miss her."

Okay...? We have a lot of stuff to clean up. This means we need to work harder.

2. Ah, and about Krakow, a wise man once said: "Any comparison drawn is a fallacy and ipso facto invalid." ;)

Indeed?

3. "Oh, and the other thing I am mildly surprised about is that a a linguistics and communication major with a minor in Latin would stoop to retro-editing comments without any indication of the edit having taken place. --◄mendel► (talk) 01:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)"

I'm presuming you didn't understand the context, or you didn't bother to look. I had stated on another page, I think DE's talk page, that I would be for reconsideration if it meant they (and I would imagine you as well) would leave. With this new knowledge, it was with a mocking tone that I changed my position. I wasn't trying to insidiously hide anything from anyone. I cheerfully admit that I changed my position. I didn't change my reasoning for why I still think it's unecessary because I think it's more important that they leave.
