Of course I have.
And of course that's an important improvement, but not a real solution for
the problem, IMHO.

To cite Joey: "Go and read the archives" - or to say it clearly: over a year
ago I (and others) asked, too, how the workload can be lightened on him. No
answers, no solutions. There was a long why from "hey, how can we or someone
else help you with your work?" to "this guy is overloaded with work and
should retire from that position".
When Joerg Jaspert is already doing the dirty daily work, why does James
still needs in place then? (Except he just stays in that position for a
transitional period until Joerg is taking over that task and job completely.
I would recommend that transitional period for other positions as well.)
And I would welcome it when in 2-3 years another person would be introduced
into that position, first as a helping hand and than to replace Joerg after
a transitional period, too...
