MODERATORS
Yeah, that's a fair point. After I posted my previous comment, I realized it probably wouldn't work since the entire point of SO was to create canonical answers to canonical questions. But how do you decide what "instance" gets to have the canonical answer to a given question? Having a central authority host everything makes it a heck of a lot easier.
