Unfortunately, it's hard for the old-boys to overcome, too. They're
surrounded by a couple thousand people they don't know and a couple hundred
they do. And they're there to work, which means they don't have time to
figure out which of the couple thousand are worth talking to; they're going
to talk to the couple hundred they already know are worthwhile. Human
nature.
(Not everybody is like this; some are better. But there are very few
people for whom it is easy.)
