Interesting point, woohog1. If you bought a new car, and you really liked your new car, you're probably going to want to talk about it. You probably want to show it off to people. Tell them how great you think it is. If you really like your car you're probably going to tell others that it's so great that they should get one too. Yeah, you know there are other cars out there, but if you're convinced that your car is the best one on the market, you are probably going to reveal that to people you come in contact with. Others may disagree. They may be happy with their own car. They may even get angry and offended that you would be so 'rude' as to suggest that they might be happier if they had a car like yours. But there's nothing wrong with being so happy with your car that you can't help but want to tell others how great it is. And the thing is, even though there are some people who don't like being told their car is not a great car and that they would really benefit from your car, there are many many people who may have been looking for a new car, a car that met all their needs, because the car they were driving just wasn't getting them from a to b. Those people are glad when you tell them about your car. They want to know. Sometimes they don't know how to go about getting a car like you have, but they know they want one, and they're very happy that you took the time to tell them how they can get a car like yours. Then they go buy one.

I think I took all the elasticity out of that analogy I could. I hope it makes some sense. Maybe I'm just stoking a fire that many thought was gladly dying.

I myself sometimes get tired of these kinds of discussions because they're so circular. Oh well, maybe there's some good to come of it.
