Are you really sure that you are telling us something we have not 
thought about and discussed numerous times?
Are you really sure that you are the one of us who have penetrated this 
area most?
Are you really sure you are the one of us who have tried to change this 
most?
Are you really sure we are not working with this?
Are you really sure you are doing more than we working with this?
Are you really sure that you are not hurting us?

Could you please ask us about if we are with you or against you if that 
matters to you? You are very welcome to do that. Maybe we should save 
the list from much of this though.

Maybe you could put up a blog about this? It is important issues and I 
will do that myself in a while. Maybe you can put up a blog and send us 
the link? I would be interested and I would try to give you feedback.
