I've been a Loremaster for several years now. There have been times I have
been the most active LM. There are times when my personal life (work, family,
charity, friends, illness, deaths, etc.) force me to be inactive for a week,
or even several weeks at a time. This has been true of most of your guild
leaders here. We should not need to apologize for that.
I have spent many many many hours not only creating assignments and approving
quests, but in-depth explanations and mentorship of new Bardlings. Please do
not insult me or any other guild leader by questioning what we've done, or how
active we are. Yes, we take breaks from time to time for various reasons, but
we come back. Those who truly retire or otherwise leave their post are
replaced at the leisure of our Lorewizards and Masterbards.

P.S. It's nice to welcome an old friend back to his post as Masterbard
