Yeah, that is a big limiting factor as well.  I think it is something that 
would just make the evolution of the sport slower, however, not totally 
stop it.

I don't know, maybe you're a realist.  I'm an optimist - but I do realize 
patience is necessary, and that what I envision for the sport - which may 
not be what the rest of those involved with it would agree with - might 
take so much time it will not come about while I'm still alive and kicking.
