I appreciate your sentiments - I really do. From my perspective, the inability of people to involve themselves in discussion both prevents them knowing me and also finding a better solution. My views on copyright are far more nuanced and forward-thinking than the rants against copyright that fill 20% of HN on any given day.

Hum. Well, now I'm on the downvote train. So it goes. Perhaps people view my post as sufficiently idealistic and radical as to be not worth serious redress. ;)
