The reason they don't is because they recognise the essential futility of the voicing of an opinion. Any points they make will receive a reply from you restating your arguments and asking loads more questions. Getting dragged into a thread almost always results in you having the last word. The problem I had during our WalterCon discussion was the rarity of occasions where you agreed with anything I said, and the complete lack of any change in your position despite the large number of arguments thrown around. On the other hand, my position changed significantly (WC not feasible until corporate interest -> interested current community members could be attracted by a more technical program). In Koki world that's probably because you were right all along, but I'm sure not everyone sees it like that. I've been away from email for a day and missed dozens of emails, all of them pretty long. I'm not completely caught up yet. I, and most others I suspect, just don't have that amount of time to throw words into a black hole. That's why my next Haiku act will be producing a "Why Haiku" video presentation and asking for feedback - doing rather than talking, as people regularly suggest.
