Too bad you put this on Flame
It's an important article, but it'll be ignored by a lot of people for whom it's not politically useful. It'd certainly be tough for any of us to question the integrity or experience of the author.
And with it being on Flame, those who don't want to acknowledge it can just aim their comments at you and walk away.
Pity, it might have spurred some dialog...but then, I must try to remember that the age of dialog has passed into history.
