Sincerely, this doesn't look as a "no one understand me" suicide. I ask
everybody to skip theorizing and to do something useful as Patrick started.

Patrick, if I can help, count me on board. I can setup a WP or a static
site for http://live-long-and-prosper.org in my personal server or
wherever, if you want.
