	One little thing on the 10% leader/90% follower thing.  That's not 
an argument that only 10% of the people are thinking human beings.  It is 
merely a fact.
	When I took my Junior Leaders Course, they taught us that in any 
given group, approx. 1 in 10 will be the take the initiative type, the 
insiprer.  8 of the group will be people who are basically followers; they 
prefer to follow and all other thing being equal will do what the leader (
not that 1 in 10 guy, but who is in charge of the group) tells them to.  
The leader doesn't really have to worry about them making trouble.  And 
then there is that bad apple, the one who is constantly whining.  Him the 
leader spends most of his time on.
	Now, this doesn't imply that the masses of the SCA are mere cattle 
to be led around by an elitist upper-class.  In fact, it doesn't imply 
anything.  All it does do is help prepare a leader for the personality 
conflicts he should expect when leading any particular group.
	And that is the only way that statement should be interpreted.
