It might not have been just because of me, but I'm the one who benefited, and therefore I get the warm fuzzy feelings. And benevolent as I am? You'd get coffee lunch even without forming Team Cassidy. The point is, if you were not as wonderful as you are, things might have gone differently.
And yeah... karma kinda bit me on that. I had just told a friend I was a bit too insignificant for people to bother me... and I should know better. Saying stuff like that is asking for the boogieman.
