I'm glad to see you and Level Head found each other to be good to. :)

I guess the truth of the matter is that you need to realize that you can't please everyone, so you have to do what you can to please yourself and try to take as many with you as you can. If they see you're enjoying yourself following your own path, they'll be far more likely to enjoy following that path.
In the case of giving out candy, I'm heartened to see that they didn't give up the whole idea as a bad thing, but instead pressed forward on a new tack.
My bank gives out mints, and while I don't care for mint, I'd never think of complaining that my personal desires aren't fulfilled for free.
I'd much rather have chocolate. But, of course, "Free Chocolate!!" signs would probably lead to a chocoholic mob of biblical proprotions. ;)
