And right now some poor SE developer got a sick feeling in their stomach and is wondering who is over-simplifying what they do lol

No mods are stepping down

@GraceNote I'm wondering if anyone in the community has any feelings about this, one way or the other. The plan was to initially add one moderator; the announcement erroneously said two. Can anyone think of a reason why one would be better than two, or vice-versa?

Or Colleen... she'd be great, really...

If you have questions about the election process itself, please ask your question on the ELL Meta Site. Remember, folks stepping up to lead this community are committing a significant amount of their time, please keep all discourse civil and constructive.
