I agree. The problem is, I am a non-entity. I don't wish to damage
whatever efforts the FIPR, you, Ross, etc. might be making in this
direction.

Would the "big people" on UK Crypto rather I did or didn't act on
impulses I might have to write to producers/editors myself? Does the
existence of the FIPR mean I should leave this to the "experts" or
would my doing it _as well_ as them help give the impression this
was a matter of concern to more than 3 people in the country?
