To *who* does it feel that way? If you're going to insinuate that
people have tried to get involved and been rebuffed, then I think the
responsibility here falls to you to provide an example. Please don't
talk around the accusation by inferring that it's some kind of RH
conspiracy. It's not.

Allan Day is certainly a counter example.

Another counter example is that I have only been able to do the
marketing work that I have done by *listening* to the design process
so that I could articulate it to others. At no point have I felt like
the design team was inaccessible.
