I think it's that genuine side that makes it OK to post the link. I also thought the piece was quite an elegant piece of literature. I'd go so far as to say it bordered on art. This writing deserves a leg-up, just to see where it can go. Of course if the author can support it through his own endeavours, yet still release it to the commons, all the better. But no harm in putting the request and support structures out there just in case it really resonates with some.
