Hi Lou,
This is the only only post I recall where Dr. Bob gave a reason, in the initial discussion:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20060918/msgs/688881.html
My understanding of this post, FWIW (not much I suppose, as I gather you seek clarification from Dr. Bob personally on this matter) was that it was *not* for official *approval* (so no need for a deputy, although a deputy could be an option.) Instead, for another poster (someone with experience with the rules here - left up to your (Lou's) choosing?) to give sort of a *second opinion* - but give it first. He did mention wanting another perspective.
And as others (I forget who) have said, I read between the lines that because of demands on his time (i.e. he can't/won't promise a final reply in any certain # of days, 100% of the time) you might get the question resolved more quickly by having another review the proposed post first.
Perhaps the 'someone else' could save time for Dr. Bob by (if necessary) pointing out and/or summarizing any potential civility issues they noticed with your post before he (Dr. Bob) found time to consider it? Economizing time could be as aspect of the value of the idea that *two heads are better than one?*
