I can appreciate your intentions, but you're recommending waging a propaganda campaign against a group of people that aren't going to be moved by it.
Theo de Raadt is both knowledgeable, public, and straightforward, and convincing a bunch of folks who are not also knowledgeable, public, and straightforward to jump in will muddy the discussion and detract from Theo's argument, not add to it. I think we've seen plenty of that already, here on this mailing list and in the misguided discussions on Slashdot. This should be left up to the experts.
