Dear Noel: Noel, there's no need to be cross. The mail is filling up my inbox the same as yours, there's no need to get upset with me about my opinion on the matter. I don't think we should assume that the people messaging here have nothing of substance to contribute. While it is likely true that some don't have anything meaningful to add to the conversation, I doubt that the entirety of the people who found out about the issue through that channel are ignorant on the issues being discussed. Are some uninformed? Certainly. Will those who stick around be uninformed for long? I would hope not. Will they be able to contribute meaningfully? It depends on the individual. But the big question... is it worthwhile for this mailing to take place? I feel that it has the potential to be, depending on how many people stick around to contribute meaningfully on this and future discussions. While I hear your proposition that this isn't going to happen, Noel, I don't think that should just be immediately assumed merely based on the origins of where those coming in here first heard about the issue. That seems like a large net to cast.
