2) His trust list was empty, thus he didn't need to be in DT1 anyways.
Hmmm, do you think that is why Theymos never put me on DT1? My trust list is empty as I prefer to trust the community.

Partially, for sure. I've had some minor discussions with him when I suggested some individuals for DT1. He does think that an empty list (or one containing people already in DT2) is a point against adding someone to DT1.
Interesting. I already get around 4-5 PMs a day from people being on DT2. I can't imagine what being on DT1 is like. :/
