For Paul, give it a rest, you're not going to convince them that your design is even viable, so sell your boilers and service them and prove everyone wrong so that in 5 years we are all saying, those are sure awesome boilers, maybe they will have their forum. If however you are selling less than great boilers, there will be lots of "I told you so" going on.
