actually, the SOTB types could care less about being mentored.  the ones 
who want it seek it (like me) and those that don't walk aimlessly around 
hamfests with 3 HT's and a blinking helmet.  it doesn't take long in the 
hobby to see where the good action is... DX and contesting.  contesting 
is he best of both - high rates and distant places...

you can't make them drink the kool-aid...
