Somewhat to my surprise, no.

In the "infamy" group, we've got one guy who has adminned some on-line
IRC-based sim-like games but doesn't any more, and one guy who doesn't
GM at all (though he's fairly new to role-playing as opposed to hack and
slash, and I have hopes of getting him started) - as well as several of
the better GMs I know.

In the Cambridge ("wednesday") group, there are three people who don't
GM at all as well as three good GMs. They have some overlap with the
"isomorph" group, which also includes one habitual GM and one other who
doesn't GM at all.

I worry slightly that some of the non-GMs may feel a bit intimidated by
the others who clearly know just what they're doing (one of the
Cambridge group is Phil Masters, for example). They generally say that
they're happy to keep playing and not GMing, though. Since when there's
a problem in each group it tends to be too many people wanting to run
games, rather than too few GMs, there's not much pressure on them to
start.
