First, I appreciate your saying that I have raised people's awareness of 
the issues.  As to your suggestion: I can't criticize it, but I do not 
think I know how to do that.  I encourage you, if not now then sometime, to 
try to re-start the discussion at what you think is a reasonable or 
constructive level of abstractness.  I don't mean to tell you what to do, 
but from your comments it seems to me that you are interested in this 
issue, and have something to say.  Maybe where I went wrong, you can go right.
