Yea it goes both ways. People find something new and awesome to them and love to talk about it.

Really experienced sidemount divers are probably less apt to approach a backmount team and try to get them to switch their gear configuration just as I'm never going to wander up to someone in a sidemount class and tell them I think it's inferior to backmount
