Vinny said (unless he edited what he wrote), "Its a NICE CHANGE OF PACE to have others (even if it is the few who ACTUALLY do important work at FRSC)."

This is not him saying he is (or was) more important than others. I don't see anything posted here worth the kind of hostility being exchanged. I have had my differences with Vinny, but one unexcused absence after 7 years of service seems to be a fairly minor offense.
