Well, as far as I'm concerned, you don't waste oxygen (or bandwidth, for that matter). You're very good at knowing how to be a good friend, and you almost always know what to say and how to say it - without just telling someone what they want to hear. I know I look forward to your comments on my journal and your messages on W30s because you are very real and can be humourous, wise, blunt, thoughtful, or pretty much whatever else is called for as needed. I know I'd miss you a lot if you weren't there!
Yeah, it can be hard when you feel like you're not the "best" at anything in particular - the generalist in the world of specialists, as you said - but there's a value in that as well. By not having all your skills in anyone one area, you can fit in wherever your needed and have a wider variety of things you can choose from to do. Every team needs a utility infielder, you know - and being the one who can see the forest because you aren't just looking at one specific tree gives you a perspective others will miss. That's kind of special in and of itself :)
