Yes, I completely agree.

All the previous e-mail I was addressing to one person only. The problem
is that it really takes a lot of time. The second problem is that we
have to make a very certain schedule of writing to exclude repeating
ourselves. Maybe we can analyse these lists, choose people we want to
contact but haven't done it yet and find writing volunteers to do the
rest. I think we can create a unified form and change only the name,
title, etc. Although it seems to be much better if we will be able to
look through the individual web page prior to writing to be able to
start a letter something like "dear ... , I was reading ... on your web
page. It sounds very interesting especially with respect to resent case
of Dmitry..."
