There are lots of posers and talkers, it's true. Lots of folks have excuses, and many are just scared and/or lazy. But I just don't want to automatically assume that is true of folks. I figure trying to be encouraging and reassuring will help those who are scared, and trying to make it a bit exciting and hyped-up will motivate the lazy. But when that doesn't work, I think calling folks out is fine as long as you don't get too personally insulting about it. Like when I posted in the Subaru section and said:

It has to be so far away because the local rally-x events were so poorly attended (even though lots of people said they'd go). Last TampaRally event in Nov. 2010 had 6, SIX, cars show up to drive, so Jeff threw in the towel on local rally-x and related events. If there's enough interest locally, I think Jeff said he could organize an event... assuming folks would be willing to pre-register and pre-pay to make it happen I'm betting.
Now lets see if folks step up like they say they want to.
