>Wonder if there is an administrator in training
If you mean anyone other than the three deputies you know, and Dr. Bob himself, no, there is no one else "in training." Not sure if the other deputies would agree with this exactly, but there are times here we may feel we are all "training." Or more accurately, "retraining." Like when civility guideline issues and policies are at the forefront, and things appear to be changing or shifting focus, we may have to adapt, learn, take breaks, step back, or other things.
I can't imagine any scenario under which Dr. Bob would ever permit someone else to use his posting name to post here.
I really hope any speculation along this line does not take hold. It worries me people may become confused and anxious.
Dr. Bob is who he has always been, in the sense of his actual identity. Trust me, I hardly agree with or fully understand all of his recent (or some past, too, I'm sure) ideas and methods, but when I have engaged him in discussion about things, the person answering me *is* Dr. Bob.
I think people can change point of view, philosophy, habits, methods, even the "tone" in their writings on line, without literally being anyone else.
