Hadn't thought of that.  Um.. how about "whatever works"?  It's sounds 
like the kind of thing where some people may be offended if we suddenly 
started asking for extra volunteers for their bits, and others in the 
same situation wouldn't.

Now that you mention it, it's probably a matter of getting that bit 
correct I suppose.  :)
