You did understand that I thought the visiting caller should "pay less" (down to and including nothing) and not that the caller for the evening should be "paid less."
...in case it's me you're talking to. My point was that a caller willing to spend time learning is a valuable person to the community at large, and that while I agree "in general" with everyone who feels he/she should pay, I think there's an argument to be made to let the "learner" in for less (or for free) if they are there to take notes and not dance.
