I was hoping that other members would follow suit, but hey,
things didn't go as planned even from the start. 
You've got a point there but it wasn't quite what I had in mind.
It's not quite about making up for what we're lacking. If it'd
happened the other way around as it usually does in real life, i.e.
you see the short slim git that I am before you learn what I'm
about, you might've diismissed me as 'just like any other
forgettable person who has approached me before, trying to bite off
more than he can chew'.
