Did they actually ask Suz for a shift or just say they were interested? Suz
and Todd may not have felt there was a clear "I agree to be curator"
statement to warrant shifting. Or maybe they were too busy and overlooked
their mail, but let's not fault anyone for the past. That was then, this is now.

But now you have a volunteer. If all parties are agreeable (Richard, Simon,
Suz), it sounds like a switch would be a good idea. Note that I left out
"the loc.uk" readership. Not a slight per se but just an acknowledgement
that not every reader may necessarily agree with everything.
Simon *is* seeking consensus though and it would be nice if he got it.
Curatorship isn't really really hard (FTX is ultra easy if you're not doing
complex things) but it depends in part on reader submissions.

And maybe in 2003 it will be warranted again! Curatorship isn't necessarily
a life peerage or anything.
