To some degree though GP is killed with FIRST. If you scream fire for hours on end than eventually people tune out the fire. I don't mind an introduction by one of the guys (preferably Woody) and than a "reminder" type deal at the end by someone, but fitting GP into every sentence and every topic is getting irritating to the point where I wanted to mute the kickoff feed because it was so redundant.

People who participate in FIRST are generally "better" people who just think like this because we are bored but don't really act upon these random ideas that we get. (We because the community as a whole has ideas that are better left out of the first playing field.) But point being, they need to cut down on the GP in speeches or they need to use a thesaurus or something so people don't fall asleep assuming everyone is reiterating the same thing...
