Yes I do, which I alluded to in my answer to (1).  As I said, the Coronet
represents the Carolingia, not just to the Crown and to the rest of the
kingdom, but above all to itself, and hence to newcomers.  It is to be
expected that the Baron/Baroness take an active role in introducing them to
the SCA.  Gwendolyn and I have talked about reserving an explicit half hour
at every baronial event specifically to meet with newcomers, to give them
some sense of the context of the event, to tell them some of what will be
going on that day, to point out (and if possible introduce) some of the
people who will be especially involved - things like that, to help them
feel a part of the barony all the sooner.
