Yet it's amazing what people will do for a volunteer enterprise.

My favourite personal example is the [[Puffing Billy Railway,
Melbourne]]. Volunteers reliably turn up every morning at threeish to
get the steam engine cleaned and heated up. Jobs that were previously
an incentive for socialism are now something that volunteers will do
because they love the cause.

You seem to be implying that you actually find this so implausible
that you can't believe Gracenotes wasn't lying. Is that what you're
saying?
