<p>Dave, I understand your point, but people are going to do what they are going to do, we can't legislate the development of modeling skills and knowledge.  You are obviously an accomplished modeler with a desire to continue your personal growth and achievement in the hobby.  My advice to you is rather than get frustrated by the "mantras" as you have defined them, continue to find a way to give back to those who seek your advice and knowledge.  You'll feel a whole lot better about things doing that rather than focusing on what kind of limitations some hobbiests choose to impose upon themselves.</p>
