Please be careful with your teeth, however skilled!

I don't think that any of the extropians you mentioned would have a problem volunteering themselves as appropriate enthusiasts in helping to inform any new people to the list about extropian ideas. Our extropian culture does not frown upon self-esteem. In fact, extropianism is highly supportive of individuals rising to the occasion.
