The difference is like a guy with a sign on the street corner begging for money vs someone at a cash register in a store you voluntarily entered asking if you'd like to donate a dollar to Red Cross with your purchase.

Yes, that makes it perfectly clear! Thank-you for that explanation. I had read a different post discouraging the asking for a follow, so I assumed that was a no-no across the board.

I know about call to action, but does it work here too? I suppose I should have made myself more clear in my initial question. (I was pulling an all-nighter trying to clear up all the BOLDED text in my comments, replies and feed tabs and was getting too tired to think clearly.)
