I doubt any of the parties I wrote to read this, but I regret to say I also reached out to some of the related to something else completely. I hope I did not burn any bridges. Obviously some of the typos have been fixed.

and one which makes it a part of the interconnected discourse of humanity.

Unless I choose not to participate in it because I spend most of my time working for a research scientist on curing lung cancer.

Conforming for survival does not mean leading.

Not everything internet needs to use the web (browser).
