Richard, you may rest assured that lots of people are worrying about
this issues, with a bigger perspective than you have. Do you know
for instance about the iFacts project (if not why not? :-) it has
been widely in the news).

I don't think your "call to action" will have any effect whatever,
since those who are interested in this matter are already doing
many things (I am amazed at your claim about crosstalk, don't you
read the magazine?)
