There is also a tendency to think that our group is somehow so unique
that there's nothing we could possibly learn from other groups or
organizations. How do other, non-youth-oriented groups handle the
situation? I'm thinking of groups such as the Civil War re-enactors,
etc. (Real question -- I have no idea.)
