Hahahahah! Not sure it will be
quite like that for all of us, but hopefully we'll manage to demonstrate most of the stuff without making a complete hash of it! (Rich excepted, clearly, he'll be just fine
)

Simply pointed out that there was a difference between mentoring

That's what I picked up from your post Terry and agreed, that's an important difference. Personally speaking when I was looking into DIR a number of people kindly took me diving and demonstrated things. That led me down the path I'm now going and I recognise the tremendous benefit I got from that. Now I have a chance to do the same for others, so why not!
Perhaps more disturbing is that I can't think of a good argument against Howard calling it "grooming"
