I for one would love to see her / him / them post some information. If misconceptions can be set aside it's good for everyone and the project.
The issue about not posting on here due to perceptions and beliefs I think is misguided. If the doubters are won over what a difference it would make and not posting because you think you'll get slated or asked awkward questions is the opposite of what is needed.
I hope you could persuade them to talk to us, after all, is it not still the case that you can't post on the VTST forum unless you pay their membership fees (unless things have changed in which case apologies).
