I too am not 'convinced' like yapisle / LoftyLottie / crazz1975
We are told that the Ed has been ill as being the reason for silence from 6 March 08 to 9 June 08 ..... yet there were 'AB Editor' postings (including the competition still cluttering up Q&A) ..... so, someone was allowed 'to act' / to take the user name BUT, not inform Abers as to what was going on ....
Then there was the immeditae prior gap 11 Dec 07 to 5 March 08 ...... do you recall the explanation posted, then -

... well, the above excuse fell into disrepute, as the site has gone backwards and not forward in the last 3 months ....
AB explanations for six months of Chaos are no better than Politicians explaining their Expenses!!!!!

I imagine any staff member can post AB Asks posts, and presumably they can all do the routine jobs of sluicing out CB, answering the phones, feeding the yaks etc. But they can't do the Editor's blog because that's personal to the Ed. As for why nobody else was appointed to stand in, it looks to me as if AB doesn't make much money - no subs, and relatively few ads - and it's unlikely there's enough round to hire a temp while still paying the Ed's sick pay. It's not parliament, y'know.
