Skip..
Thanks for the post of Kevin's rant.... I still admire his passion.. I really do...
My wife and I are really into adopting older "shelter" cats... (few people will take them) It's our "thing". Snakes are his "Thing"... so like I said... his passion isn't a problem... it's in the delivery of his message.. We deal with all the "crazy cat people" ( ya.. OK... we have 8 cats!

) comments from friends and family with a smile... RH needs to learn that it dosen't matter what others think... and he needs to learn that his passion may not be understood by others. If he wants to spread the message... he needs to "put a little sugar" on it.
The way too old salesman in me could really help him if he would listen! :
