Maybe it's just me and this isn't to pick on you specifically, 
but I'm getting tired of all of these threads where people tout 
various ideas/actions as a way to improve D, make it more 
popular, cure cancer, solve world hunger, etc with no actual 
action by the original poster. If you feel strongly about it, 
then follow the Nike slogan and "Just do it".
