I am against that one. It is easy to underestimate the amount of work that has to be done as Mod, especially when some events (like book releases or special holidays) are close. I wrote a PM to @Ookla the Well-Intentioned a few days ago and she replied that some days she has not the time to look at the fun threads. And if you look at her postings, she hasn't replied to anything else since the last clue.
I'd say a bit more patience and good spirit can't hurt. 'Tis the season!
