Let the newbies lead!

This is a note to self, as well as a generic request. There are so many self-organized supporters who are new to active involvement, many of whom have never even voted before. The way you grow leadership is by encouraging people to lead. I regularly bite my own tongue to suppress the "don't teach your granny to knit" reflex that seems to become stronger with age. Whenever I do, the newbies get around to asking questions that old-timers are well placed to answer.
