I had discussed this very point, the efforts we waste on duplicative efforts, 
with various people over these last few weeks.
It is interesting that you mention Neligh, as Roger Brown had provided me 
with his number, just a few days ago. From Roger's account, it would appear 
that there would be much to be gained from my speaking with him, as our 
efforts seem to be on something of a parallel course.

Nearly a full year spent in collecting and sorting, I now turn to the task of 
distilling the information down in such a manner as to render it immediately 
available, and in a useful format.  My efforts are initially local in nature, 
in that they target Virginia, a particulary troubled state with an astounding 
81% rate of false allegations.  My efforts are soon to be expanded.

Truth be known, I had started to compose more than one reply to your 
heartfelt message of nearly two weeks ago, posted in VFALSAC.  You managed to 
accomplish something with that message that is very difficult to do.  You 
rendered me unable to compose a reply.  Quite literally, I had composed, and 
subsequently deleted, no less than half a dozen replys.  Empty platitudes 
aren't what you need, yet I found myself unable compose anything beyond them.
More significantly, something else you managed to accomplish was to 
"galvanize" me to action, to borrow your term from a previous message. 
Several projects I have been meaning to tend to are now off the back burner.
