I get people ask me stuff like that. Usually, in my experience, if a person has the courage to approach a perfect stranger, and ask about it, that signifies a basically open mind. When I get the naysayers who say crap like "but if you don't know what it says when you're done, it doesn't work." I offer to let them read my copy of the PWMS 3rd edition book, and tell them to decide after they've read it. So far i've only had two people take me up on the offer. and neither actually read it. gave it back 2 weeks later and said "i never had a chance to read it".
But, I can't give up on people. I just don't let them get to me. I've already proven to MYSELF that the PR step DOES work.
