I feel a little uncomfortable judging proficiency levels of active speakers in a public forum, so I'll respond to you off-list on this.

An unfortunate consequence of not having a BG for so long. Part of the BG's role was to conduct a handover of sorts to their successor. When I went through, this involved the BG-elect writing responses to a couple of beginners' posts and sending them first to the incumbent BG off-list, so that the incumbent BG could look at them and give the BG-elect advice as to how well they explained their corrections and so forth, but more importantly, advice as to how their tone would come across to a beginning learner. I really don't have the spoons at the moment to take on the BG role myself, but would certainly be happy to play that mentoring role.
