I think Ed and Ward have the right idea. Human nature proves this over and
over again:
Tell me to do something, I'll fight it.
Ask me to do something, I'll try it.
Above all don't yell at the new people this brings into the hobby, a lot of
them will be doing something they've always dreamed of and they will be
looking for our help and support.
