I wasn't discounting anyone. For the record, I was just
sending you a private note of praise which wasn't for public
comment. You might want to brush up on your netiquette
because you obviously didn't learn about it from your parents.

I was making a more general observation about the way policy
wonks, academics, and techies tend to dominate most of the
discussions around communications and media, even though the
public is the only entity that gives all of this it's value.
None of this has any meaning outside the context of it's use
by people, and yet, people are often an afterthought when it
comes to the decisionmaking. That was my point. It wasn't
about anyone in particular, but a more general observation.
