To sponsor or not to sponsor?

So, sponsoring belongs to some unknown special class? So when Jane Newbie comes into an AA meeting, and people are telling her "find a sponsor" she looks around and everyone is sitting there with their arms folded. Then what does she do?

Plus, there is no standard for sponsorship remember? It's as I was understanding it, "one drunk talking to another." There is no training, no written instructions, no formal guide to the 12 steps. It's just how everyone was taught to do it.

This is an interesting discussion, like I figured it would be.
