Probably not a question I would directly ask a vendor since its not great advertisement for their business if their enthusiam for the hobby has changed.

I can answer that one....for me personally, working at a vendor for the last two years has done nothing but deepen my appreciation for the hobby.....possibly because working at the store has allowed me to do and add things that I wouldnt have been able to if I were still just a hobbyist....mind you, Im only there part time
