[Forgive if I've missed this in the deservedly KM-long thread; I didn't find any in a couple of rushed `grep`s.]

On the "sheer quantity of it is so overwhelming":

Not that I didn't already guess the workload would be staggering, given the gargantuan flow of comments and submissions ... still, I find the above somewhat disquieting—for the long-term health of both the moderators.

I realize that some long-time members of this community assist dang & sctb in helping moderate. Regardless, I hope they can have a slightly larger "official" team to spread the unstoppable stream of workload. Not merely for the sake of quantity, but to have fewer occurrences of having your psychological buttons get stress-tested. (I'm sure they know this, and consider this topic from time-to-time, as mentioned in the article.)

Also happy to have learnt some background and interests of the human moderators.

Thanks for the fine work, folks.
