As noted, we respect and honor Mary; we understand she points to Christ; but we believe her role is like John the Baptist's, pointing to the Author of our redemption.

You guys never even utter her name, unless it is in opposition to Catholics devotion to her. And come to think of it, I don't think I ever seen any protestant threads that extol the importance of either Mary or St. John the Baptist, who Christ refers to as Elijah's re-appearance, as prophesied. Are there any protestant writers or essays which even delve into the inestimable importance of either Mary or +John the Baptist? It's a serious question, not rhetorical.

Yes, there are, but I can't get to my church library where I am now. I'll follow through on this one.

There are a few, but not many contempary ones since around the time of Vatican I.
