No, I will _not_ babble like a loon at a friendly researcher who is researching stuff I'm interested in, at a school I'm strongly interested in, with whom I've only had one previous contact. I will not!
Why the hell not?! You think researchers like talking to average people all day? Investing years of one's life into learning research skills, then interviewing hundreds of people who don't really understand why you're doing things the way you're doing them, is somehow a little sad. Enthusiasm is the heat in the blood of life. Share it, please.
