You did good work. Very good work that seeds the thoughts of knowledge and change.
On behalf of all who are laboring to restore the Bonneville working with Save the Salt and the Utah Alliance, we thank you and hold up your marvelous bit of advocacy as a benchmark that others should strive to duplicate.
As you discovered, the public is as outraged as the land speed racing community when they are told the facts and want to contribute without being hustled to "invest" imaginary real estate.
