What makes you NOT an asshole is precisely this:
I or others might look like assholes but, 2, 3 or 5 years from now, it will be people like myself that you will find still here, working for the community we helped build.
As a tiny account that's not even lint on someone's butt yet, I have no intention of doing anything other than just keep plugging along, one step at a time. It's the drops in the bucket theory: If you leave a bucket under a dripping tap, it seems like nothing. What's a drop of water? But when you come back two weeks later, the bucket is overflowing.
What gives me some comfort is the idea that there are people like you, working towards making sure there still IS a community here in a few years when my bucket has slowly filled and I can add something of more value for others. Pay it forward, and all that.
