Appreciated, means a lot.

I'm not surprised at the downvotes, but someday we all have to look in the mirror and decide if we like what we see, but it's easier to downvote in the meantime.

If I may... I suspect quite a few of your comments have been downvoted for being a little—frenetic. In many ways, your work here (together with your previous work experience) speaks for itself, at least to those of us who get it.

Unfortunately, awareness-raising and solution-building are probably two entirely separate stages for this issue.

I’m used to a quick fire response format for legal questioning. My words are carefully chosen, but I do reply quickly because I played every question in my head in advance.

The dig on downvotes however was intentionally cheeky. I’m well respected by many engineers who worked with me, no hard feelings, just a little teasing.
