James, part of the problem may be that to the rest of the world the
"official alias" looks like a black hole.
I assume it isn't :), but I cannot "see" the comments I or others have made
in the "official" place.
You might want to set up an URL where anyone could review comments already
submitted. Maybe FAQ-O-Matic or some similar tool would be useful.
