Pete, your post reminds me of what my Dad says about golf. It's a game for tennis players with a broken leg. He's now 87, and played tennis until he was about 80.

Marcy's right about not pushing anyone to do something, that's the best way to discourage them. Everyone has to do something for their own reasons. I guess we zealots have a tendency to think everyone should do what we do because we enjoy it so much, but they have to want it as well.
