GAW, I am sure that there are many, many people who regularly invite others over for a Shabbos meal, who would be very surprised as am I, to hear that they had no mitzvah in doing so unless the people were from out of town. I plan to continue inviting people, even if I get no sachar for it, because it enhances my Oneg Shabbos and Yom Tov to share with my family and friends. I also plan to speak to my Rov about this, because it is contradictory to everything I have ever learned my entire life.
