To be clear, what I meant was more along the lines of "I have my 
own high priority tasks on my plate for the forseeable future, 
and unfortunately this isn't one of them."  It doesn't mean it's 
not worthy, but rather that it is dwarfed by more worthy tasks of 
higher priority.

For perspective, let's classify this as "Super Duper Important 
High Priority".  That said, I have weeks worth of "Ultra Mega 
Super Duper Extreme High Priority" items.

Sorry if I made it sound unimportant, but hope this is clearer.
