May I just say what a comfort to discover someone that really understands what they are talking about on the web. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to look at this and understand this side of your story. It's surprising you are not more popular given that you certainly have the gift.

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you need to publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but usually folks don't discuss such topics. To the next! Cheers!!
