Rick, if you are frustrated that people don't know what you are talking 
about, you should try writing shorter messages, with less bombast.  I 
don't know if you are aiming for humor with your messages, but to my 
ears, you are verging on self-parody.  I'm surprised that people are 
taking you seriously.
