Inevitably, some will have their fill of the experience and move along until they find something more to their taste. Others may stay the course and further their exploration, expanding upon their knowledge.
While I confess to being amused by some of the outlandish gestures of such neophytes, there's no reason to be condescending or mean-spirited. Accept the fact that most will not remain, but support and encourage those who are willing to learn.
