No. It simply means that if there's no radical change in the future 
(concerning the way of working and sharing the tasks for ex), adding new (or 
changing) people won't make a difference. It does NOT mean that there are not 
capable (or even more capable) persons out there.

No one ever said so (For ex, I'm not what you could call me a guru in anything 
:-)

Everyone has priorities in this life, and that's their personal business. You 
can't force anyone to 'sacrifice' or to volunteer if they have more urgent 
priorities (family, career etc etc).

Sorry Ossama, but I don't understand your attitude. _NO ONE_ will be stepping 
aside, and surely not that way !!!
