Don't start picking on lovely Eddy. He was not saying that anyone is more important, he was just saying, unwisely maybe, that you reap what you sew and that in his view it was not a good idea to offer to do someone else's job, in case the table turn on you.
Lets not get into a debate about, if it is a good idea or not please because it is a personal thing for those that did volunteer and all of them did it for different reasons, some enjoyed it and some hated it. Some regretted it and some are pleased they did it.
Lets leave it at that. Please.
