Whether or not your ideas are "crackpot", one should realize that
many of those who might disagree with you (not all of 'em) only
differ in project position and often differ in competency to
the negative.

It is a cr*pshoot as to who has been making reasonable suggestions
as to marketing, because previous efforts have been folly.  Many of
those who might have been putting you down have shown little competency
to be able to make the judgement that they have pronounced.  Future
efforts might be competent, and I am encouraged with some of the
response and discourse that I have seen so far.

With a competent marketing person, the need for aggressive advocacy
will be lessened.  The need for aggressiveness was a result of klutzy
fumbling from previous efforts, and the future bodes well.
