No need to read anymore into it.Except that 'just go do it' wasn't what they said -- they described methods and resources. Reaching out can also mean passing on knowledge or the results of experience to others. What is being done here is a big help. Advice! Lots of it! There's quite a bit of elaboration on what it takes to 'do it'.Â
I just don't see a problem with established people making it easier to help pave the way once their established, making easier for the next generation of rpers to, as Aya put it, feel more confident about getting out there. If there is something we can do, I want to do it and I don't think "Just go do it" will help. They don't SEE your failures, they only see your successes, "Just go do it" can look very daunting and frustrating to people at times.

I'm not quite sure what else needs to be done, other than just more of what we have now.
I agree, there is help going out, in a sense, though that still doesn't solve the too timid to actually approach the people they want to approach thing. I'm not saying we should be able to find anything, but if their IS a way, I'd like to see it. If there's not, hey at least there was a discussion.
Hell, I even went into ways for people who are too timid to approach to make connections with others in a previous post, via rumor swapping and Bulletin Board posts. The good stuff is all over this thread.
