DCDuring TALK 22:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC) You're either missing or ignoring the point what are the senses of ad and infinitum that mean this would be sum of parts?

If the problem is that not enough people with knowledge are around, then we shouldn't be closing out RfDs, we should be waiting for knowledgeable folks to return, new knowledgeable folks to arrive, or for regulars to get more knowledgeable.
