Im all for it but I am biased
Hi, RAZD! I am all for promoting your looong article to the CoffeeHouse, but I am a bit biased since you included me in your O.P.
Try consolidating your words a bit..maybe shortening the links and definitions and perhaps even toning down those bright colors!
After you have edited to the best of your abiliies, I will let Wounded King have first dibbs on promoting you and then will reconsider, after your final edit.
Like he said, will you get an audience?

Quite simply too long
RAZD--this is just too long to open a topic with! Those of us who know you know that you make sense eventually, but to anyone new who is browsing the topic list, your opening post is much too long and complicated!
Remember, RAZD...when we EvC veterans start new topics, let us always keep in mind that many people who do not know us are browsing the new topics list. Keep them simple, if possible!
Another Admin may yet promote you, but here is my philosophy on PNT topics:
Start with a simple point. You can always expand your explanation once people get involved with the topic. The opening post itself should be quite concise and easily grasped, much like an introduction in a book.

Re: Quite simply too long
OK, RAZD. Im closing this one. You can come back here and cut your O.P. out for your rewritten version...or you may revise the topic hare and e-mail me to reopen and promote it. I would start over, if I were you. Two points.
1) Yes...you could write a column or a book! You have great information, excellent formatting, and complex ideas.
2) I still say: Keep the Opening topic simple. An introduction, if you will. This draws folk in to the topic. Then...later on in the thread, you can elaborate with as many charts and graphs as you can muster!
CLOSING THIS TOPIC.
