I guess this is sort of a flame, however I just thought I would tell you:

Most people do not have 10 years to read news articles and therefor must
make a detimation whether or not to read the article before reading 
most of it. 

You start out saying that the article is long, that we shouldn't send a
response without reading the entire article, etc, etc,

There is nothing on the first page that tells me what you are asking and
therefore I won't spend the time to look through the entire message.  
Especially when it is on the order of 100 lines.

This might explain why you are getting no responses.
