Thanks, John. No, I certainly don't think such articles will help a bit with "hardened" folks like McFarland that obstinately and unreasonably support Fellay - all one can do is pray for such.
No, I think the value of such articles is as a quick summary to show/email people who may still be reachable: people who are ignorant, undecided, or even who refuse to believe there are problems through sheer ignorance or false obedience, etc.
As far as it all being "old news": as hard as it is to believe, remember there are unfortunately tons of people out there who have done little or no reading on this subject, for whatever reason. It is they who I think could benefit, by us emailing such summary articles to them.
