True communication happens only between equals AND time = money. Not only do we lack enough people of serious intellect to communicate meaningfully with many scientists and doctors (we are not equal) they have much better things to do with their time then sit in front of their computer and chat with us. Their "hangout" is with others of equal skills.

If you were building a bird house and wanted to attract birds, but none came, would you fault the bird, or the birdhouse?

"Lack of enough people of serious intellect" sounds like a tad too strong choice of words. I am sure every one of us has some knowledge/skills which the others don't have.
Anyway, what I had in mind was people who have made a name for themselves both in their field and in communicating the "state of the art" to the public. I have no doubt that those people value their time, but some of them might be interested in promoting their new book to us for just one evening, if they are convinced that it's worth it. I believe we can bring them to a rather small but much better than their average audience, provided we can keep some rules of conduct.
I don't know... would the "big names" ask money for that? Perhaps if we design an entry page to a network of virian sites we could use that as an additional argument for our importance.
My other question was how important that would be for the appeal of CoV, if it is to grow.
