I don't actively want to be involved in doing it. I would be quite happy to be among the masses of the saved by someone else's hand. I'm willing to help when ways to do that present themselves, since ignoring ways to make things I want to happen happen would be pretty dumb.

"I'm willing to help when ways to do that present themselves"

And if they don't, will you sit back and wait for them, or will you look for them?

(Not passing judgment, just trying to tease out more details of your position.)

I worked for Singinst for a while. I'm not really dedicating my life to diligently ferreting out more things to do, but I do put myself in the way of such information should it come to light (e.g. I hang out here, I'm on the Singinst mailing list).
