Indeed Kai, as in the title it’s all relative, some people look up to important looking people, without knowing how unimportant they actually are, cheers David

Most people that like to look important are unimportant, Just a play on words, but your right if humility is shown can always change the dynamic, cheers David

I don't think either should matter most. But I discern your thoughts. I've sent you another mail, but the party is about to be over.

Thank Jenna that was exactly my point, it’s all relative to the concerned party, neither indeed matter at all, but to the egotist, the delusion of looking important is what counts, cheers David
