Oooh, I've played that role myself, Wadds! 
In my senior year of high school, I was recruited at the last minute to be on a team for the finals of our school's "It's Academic" type tournament (one of the team members was sick the day of the final round). We ended up winning the tournament and I got a cool trophy. I felt sort of bad about keeping the trophy when I hadn't been on the team all along -- but I kept it anyhow.

As well you should. While you did not play a part in getting them to the championship round, you participated in their winning that round. For that, you deserve the trophy. Hopefully, the team member who was ill that day also received recognition...but if not, you did not make that decision and ought not feel guilt for that person being overlooked.aliantha wrote:I felt sort of bad about keeping the trophy when I hadn't been on the team all along -- but I kept it anyhow.

God I miss that kind of television...........luckily I own the complete set. Television sucks now.
The loudest truth I ever heard was the softest sound.

That's pretty cool, Sarge.
Owlie -- there's nothing wrong with having a Patricia McKillip obsession.

I cook at Portuguese celebrations here in California. We usually feed over 9000 people twice a year at these. A lot of fellowship and beer!
You can judge the true character of a person on how they treat those who can do nothing for them
