Oo, er, I hadn't meant it to sound quite so difficult - I'd
imagined #3 as an extension of #1, though not (as you say)
identical. Ease-of-operation is to the designer's benefit,
after all.

I've occasionally seen a decent game fold simply because the
designer/moderator no longer has time to run it.  And if he
doesn't have time to run the game, he doesn't have time to
get it in a fit state for anyone else to run, either. True
of hand-mods, too - if the game records are all in the GM's
head, it's vey hard for anyone else to take the game over.
