Aside: this kind of statement might make it unlikely for exactly
those who would benefit most from your opinions to read them.

Well, that is my guess, anyway.  I know that I have not found the time
to read your email (though I would like to) because I suspect based on
such sweeping statements that it would take a while to separate the
useful part from the rest.

Of course I am glad to see people thinking about these issues.
My comment is only about how the results get presented.
