It's ironic to me that vroom is accused of having a heavy hand in managing this site.  I always thought that vroom's presence was hardly noticable, very unintrusive.  Sure I see his name here and there, but I also see this site very much as community controled and see vroom as a facilitator.  I admire vroom's style as in keeping with the 37th 17th chapter of the Tao Te Ching:

The existence of the leader who is wise
is barely known to those he leads.
He acts without unnecessary speech,
so that the people say,
"It happened of its own accord"

Update
You're right agentv (see below), it is the 17th chapter.
I updated the comment above and the link.

-Thanks.
