-I think it's more than that. It's an excellent factual analogy that carries
too much weight to be limited to an interoffice memo. Others feel the same
since they took the time to offer to proof and post it. You've struck a
chord here Rube, let's run with it.

-It's original pupose was the reply but it has taken on more substance
because it is a solid argument. Again, we should build on that not limit it
to the 'it's a reply to...' aspect.

-While I agree they are part of the result I still feel we need to
consciously construct marketing materials aimed at the common layperson.
Pls let me know if I am misocnstruing any or all of your points.

It's a reply to RMS and others, and it serves as a point by point road map
for positive political activity which I'm advocating. It's target is those
people already interested and somewhat informed on the issues, and attempts
to outline a correction in the current efforts to defend digital information
rights.

Such efforts are part of the result of adoption of the methods outlined
in the bouchner response letter to RMS.
