Hmm...You sure I said that?  If I did, which I do not recall, then it must
be taken out of context.  In any case, I do completely agree with you on the
issue of doing whatever you have to do.  Sure, our guild has a few slackers,
but since we know who we *can* and *cann't* count on to be there, well, it
makes life easier.  There are sure times we have all experienced, I'm sure,
that we would like to just sit down or go play or go home, but most of us
don't.  We stay, we work like underpaid dogs, we laugh at the end and share
a hug.  And that is what makes it all worthwhile.
