I think we do, as much as is possible. A little awareness raising can go
a long way, although probably not all the way. They do have different
objectives from ours after all, and ones they would consider as valid as
we consider ours. I hope that when you try to bring them on board you
don't follow John's line of calling them "idiots" and "dumb".
