I'll take this a step further: in most cases I don't like it that colleagues ask me to be on their grant proposals, period. Usually there is not much in it for you. They're sort of just using your name. But you then get sucked into all sorts of draft discussions, possibly even meetings. And it's not even clear that getting the grant will be a good thing, because that comes with its own set of obligations. And it's probably a project you weren't that keen on doing in the first place.
So yeah, I can relate, and then some.
PS. I agree, cool font!
PS2. The above is not meant to include projects that one crafts together with colleagues from the start. Of course, in that realm, I enjoy collaboration.
