William, Eric, and others,

Lately I found an expression to the effect that:  "People care about
things they don't understand", and "People understand things they don't
care about." 

There is a chance of learning more about present interests as well
as discovering new interests.  And each List develops its own tone and
etiquette.

Not to worry!
