Given this, will a post like this receive adequate feedback/response from the "teacher-level" members if it is posted in the discussion area? If the simple answer is that most of those able to contribute to such an effort read the discussion area regularly, this is all the answer that is needed.

My impression is that the discussion area has a higher percentage of regular readers, possibly only because it's more difficult to find.

I'm not clear on what you mean. You're saying that because it's more difficult to locate, readership regularity is increased? Do you think that "teacher-level" members fall into that class of regular readers?

I think what he meant was that those who read the discussion section tend to be higher level, because having to go beyond LW's front page screens out many of the more casual readers.

Yep.
