Right on. And any group is going to have those who talk big ("just give me a call") and don't follow through on their own offer. Going in a foxhole is fine -- vets or rookies (well, not so much them) alike -- but don't preach about the value of giving/getting help but then get lost when it comes time to actually give/get it. Applies to more of us than we'd like to admit, I'm sure. Goes both ways.
