Hey, Jaybird!

You're not gonna like me for saying this, but the fact of the matter is that NALTEA has to offer some type of incentive to motivate people to join.  Like it or not, it's human nature to act in one's own interest, and free markets work best when we do so.  One need only read the article by Professor Walter E. Williams (in my "Another Off-Topic Post..." below) to see that.

My point is that nobody's going to join something unless there's something in it for them.  The answer lies not in offering increased incentives, but in emphasizing the incentives that are already there.  It's called salesmanship.  We're going to get a lot of "noes" before we get to the "yesses".  We just have to get better at convincing people that it's in their best interest to say "yes" to NALTEA.  Easier said than done?  Perhaps so, but when was anything worthwhile ever easy?

Just my thoughts.

Regards,
Scott
