That's not quite what is happening. When the idea of a
beginning grammarian first appeared, several people showed
interest. Rather than give the position to one person and leave
the others in the rejection bin, it was decided to rotate the
position. This both gave people who were intermediate level
Klingonists a place to test their metal and intensify their
activity on the list, AND it lessened the committment by making
it temporary, so we DON'T tend to burn out the BGs. I'm sure
that when we finish off the list of BGs, former ones will be
quite ready to sign up again. trI'Qal has certainly expressed
interest in this, and I think Holtej's speedy retirement has
less to do with the Klingon load than his personal life as a
new father with a higher education study load. He'll be back,
believe me.

That's pretty much what we've done, just by a different plan
than you suggest.

Thanks for the thoughts. I think the current rotation is
working okay for now, though certainly, if we run through BGs
and find a lack of fresh talent willing to take it on for a
month or two, we should consider other systems.
