Bravo to Sean Barry (CP digest 618) for his defense of the CP newbie. (know
this is late, catching up on email after my CP expedition to Florida
Panhandle .. more on that later).

A hobby, like any other group of common interest, can become very closed to
outsiders. And that would be a shame in this case if our un(der?)stated goal,
and I believe it is, is to broaden both the understanding and appreciation of
CPs to the world.

I've asked some (probably in others minds) stupid questions, and have been
ignored ... not too long ago by those in the group wiser than me (most).
There shouldn't have to be initiation (hazing) to belong to anything, in
mind.

Ok, off the soapbox.
