If you go to a conference, and you have a question (or some information) for a
speaker, do you stand up in the hall & shout the question to everyone? No,
because it's not effective. You talk directly to the speaker, even if you have
to wait in line.

I disagree that we should "flood" anyone with email, but if you have something
to ask (or say) which is pertinent to Brad's position as VP of LD (which I
think many of the points you make are), I think it's definitely appropriate to
email him direct. That's what his email is there for. Or send a letter
snail-mail, if you prefer.

Just my opinion.
