Tim,

don't you think you should change a bit yourself? You cannot teach 
people how good LP is if you are still reading/writing your emails text 
based. If you have not advanced being able to just click on a link in an 
email and follow it to open a webbrowser with the linked page, then I 
tend to say that people will not believe what you say. Your visions will 
stay visions and will never come true. Please come to our time.

Not true. I like your visions and your preaching about LP. And in fact, 
I would have liked to see them on MathAction. And yes, things will be 
forgotten on a wiki if they are not prominently linked or easily found 
by google or if you don't repeat advertising that URL. I just wanted to 
suggest you to save some time. Typing one URL in a mail (or use your 
mouse and drag&drop it to your mailer) costs far less than typing the 
whole text again.

Ralf
