Say that you wanted to reply to someone on a messageboard who tries to take charge too much in organizing things (like events, meetings, etc.). How would you state something like the following, but in in a subtle and witty way?

"I see you wil be taking charge of yet another event, Bob"

Actually, Bob is a generic name I used for a female and I would really like to send that message without having to explicitly say it, if possible.

I'm just looking for something witty if anyone can think if it.

"I can't believe that you can juggle so many responsibilities and still lead a real life, Bob. I guess being in charge of things is worth it though."

'Perhaps there's a control freak in the house who'd desperately love to manage this one?'

'I'm sure there's atleast one type A project monopolist around here who could manage this one...'

'Lets pretend there's only one person capable of managing this, and its a type A control freak who has to manage everything. Do we have one in the house?' :p

'Lets find someone who wants to manage this project this time, as opposed to the usual someone who needs to manage our projects.'

Bob, I sh!t on you. You are the culmination of all that is evil in this world. The manifestation of my evil, twisted thoughts that come to haunt me from day to night. The quintessential wordy son of a bitch who has to get that last word in. What about my thoughts, my feelings, Bob? Do you have a soul? Or is your humanity as ill-fated as your attempt to show some sort of charity towards your fellow board members? I lean towards the latter, my friend. My blood continues to boil, may it spill and burn on you for ages to come....

I think it can be best summed up in a story:

There were two monks washing their bowls in the river. While washing his bowl, one monk sees a scorpion fall into the river. He saves scorpion from drowning only to be stung. The monk puts the scorpion back where he was and goes about washing his bowl. Again the scorpion falls into the river and again the monk rescues the scorpion from death only to be stung again. After the monk puts the scorpion back where it was last, the second monk asks "Friend, why do you save the scorpion when its nature is to sting?" The first monk replies, "Because to save it is my nature."

Bob, I just can't believe that you are always the one to step right in to all the organizing!
Bob, you really need to take a break from all the organizing you do!
Bob, the rest of us need to force you to take a rest from always being the organizer!

Positive/negative depending on how you read it.

Careful Bob, don't get yourself burned (or is it burnt?) out. I can help out with some organizing if you need a break.

But then again, I don't know the context here. Maybe Bob will respond well and maybe she won't.

Indeed.
Your mistake is in valuing the experience as much as Bob, but not being as much of a fvcktard.

You can't "win" without being just as much a fvcktard as Bob, btw.
