    I agree with this sentiment - as well; I think this would be an 
excellent use of a small organization's resources.

    Bringing attention to issues is worthwhile - but intrinsic to this 
is being responsive as opposed to becoming an impetus - and we can not 
afford a campaign of attrition (we will loose)... As well, such a course 
of action faces the (very great) momentum of existing forces head-on... 
And I have concerns of mis-framing concepts with the inevitable of use 
of  "intellectual property" and other poor constructs.

    Cheers!
