That's the premise of a loner. According to that definition, the UnaBomber was a successful entrepeneur who was not blinded by money and fame, but by grime and sweat. :-) He certainly kept expenses to a minimum.

But if you learn to avoid the jam in the first place, your mind is free to ask questions that help you stay on course, minimizing jams and the jam-extraction-related questions.

It sounds noble at first, but what about retaining some of them to help other newcomers? What matters most is your MISSION. If your mission is genuinely altruistic, then there need not be an automatic boot at the end of a year. Some people can be retained so that MORE people can be helped, and so that whomever is at the top can be freed up from developing members in order to devote more resources towards developing the organization.

Does anyone think I am being too harsh?
