Now you are going out of line and becoming annoying. Nobody on DIRECT
to my knowledge has claimed that they are first in anything - in fact
if you read the article carefully (without being blinded by your own
ego) then you will see. Neither DIRECT nor your concept are completely
original. Since Horizons has published an article on DIRECT, are you
now claiming that Horizons must also publish an article on your
concept - and every other concept that someone comes up with. I've
received some emails that suggest that your complaint sounds like
"sour grapes" (envy and jealousy at the publicity that DIRECT is
getting) - and it does. DIRECT did not gain any notice because of a
"lobby", which implies the concept has no merit, but because it has
appeal to them. Nobody is stopping you from trying to raise awareness
of your concept, which it appears you have been doing, without the
success you crave.

Read the article again and tell me where there was any dishonesty. If
you are not satisfied, you can raise the question on
forums.nasaspaceflight.com in the DIRECT v2.0 thread.
