Hey, welcome, and thanks for the advice! I guess that kind of reasoning is still intrinsically foreign to me: if it were a public transit thing, I'd figure it was no big deal, but it just feels ... rude ... to ask people to go out of their way and do The Thing I Hate Most in the World (seriously, I would totally trade a root canal for a round trip to, say, LA) just for the pleasure of my company. But, methinks I might have to get used to it on both ends ... bleh. :)
