Pet Peeve - someone who "volunteers" someone else to do something that they, themselves, are not willing to do.
Bobono, if you want this done, you must take the LEAD. You must be willing to take action yourself. What a cop-out to insist that Jim jump in. At the least, it seems that you are trying to put Jim on the spot. My opinion, Jim needs not to defend himself to you, as to why he isn't willing.
Sorry, bobono, this isn't the way to get things done. You must not expect others to do what you aren't willing to do yourself.
My comments are born from admitted inability to lead, rather than unwillingness. I don't mean to put Jim on the spot. But if Rush had to choose between providing a guest spot to me or to Jim, who do you think Rush would choose. I have no name recognition - Jim does. And I offered an "out" to Jim by stating that it could be anyone with similar credibility.
