Yes, I think it is mandatory, as a matter of courtesy and safety - in an
increasingly bad-mannered world, perhaps safety is what needs emphasizing
here. Either by benign neglect or outright selfishness, many times in the
show "arena", less experiencesd riders have been mown over by the "pros",
blocked from view, and at times terrorized by flying, out-of-control
"champions". Yes, we believe that, as we advance, we have an obligation to
educate and share generaously what we have learned - and continue to learn!
Happily, this is also human nature!
