cool,my take on mide's story is what I liken to the business owner that keeps working his company instead of retiring to a comfortable beach. He feels he has a responsibility to his employees. Some see compassion and responsibility to use one's talents for the benefits of society as a whole a sign of positive character. I'm one of the "some" Thanks also to mide for relaying that comment on his character.
sorry for popping in again, but It explains why someone of his caliber was willing to take on this albatross.
