Dave, I certainly believe it would be good to start getting accurate info spread around about BPL. I am very sympathetic with this goal. As a couple of our colleagues have already commented, I encourage a review of the rhetoric, in consideration of the wide distribution one would hope you will achieve. I went through the critique, but will not add further comment to that which you have already received. I accept that the advice you've received is at least as good as that which I might offer.

There are some bloggers and columnists who I think might make some use of it. That's why I felt it necessary to include, for example, why I happen to know something about BPL.
