Indeed, those who have been posting ideas should not interpret silence from the 
lazarus team as if we think the ideas are bad; it's just that we can't do two 
things at once. Considering the fact that we (probably) won't be the 
marketeers, it would be bad for us to say how marketing should be done 
(although it should be proper and sane of course).
