Pablo,

If you expect a single effort at this subject will make a difference, then 
you are right, it will be ignored by the majority.  However, it can be 
worthwhile if you persevere and keep the effort updated and in the public 
eye.  This is exactly what Tina has done over the years with her South 
American  work.
