Take the niceness challenge

There was an interesting discussion Friday on the MIMlist listserv about committing random acts of kindness and "paying it forward." One MIMlister had an interesting suggestion: Subtly suggest that participants spontaneously do something nice--no ulterior motives or rewards--to/for other attendees.

I wonder how that would work? Would people be suspicious if others started suddenly doing nice things? Would it be a kinder, gentler meeting, or would a competition on who could be nicest break out?
