There could be someone close to him of course. Or probably the other administrator in this forum. Theymos might be the president but if there is the president then there should be a vice president to full fill the duty of the president when needed. Moderators IMO remains moderators as far as the other admins concern
This is why he put a second administrator, Cyrus he is a very amazing admin and he will be 1# when theymos will leave.
