You and I have exchanged private emails on this and other topics. I don't think there are many "doomers" who would tell you not to try but there are lots of us who would tell you not to get pissed off when they ignore you.
I wish you the best of luck in your crusade, mr f, so please be sure to keep me posted how it turns out. ;) You'll have to excuse me if I am not as enthusiastic for such activities as you are. I've run the political gauntlet numerous times before for other issues and am pretty aware of how it works.

Into the Grey Zone
GreyZone,
Not so much a crusade, more like a pastime, like following baseball. I hear you on the political gauntlet ---> mincemeat clause... I don't mind being ignored, and I don't get pissed off when it happens either (at least not for very long!) I learn a lot reading here about the subjects at hand, and I enjoy blurting out whatever I think in response to TOD stimuli (that's what all this "blogging" is for, after all.)
Like I mentioned before, TOD is a fascinating microcosm of human nature. For that reason alone, if no other aside from the excellent statistical analysis and summaries--I believe it to be an invaluable resource.
