Agreed - sticking our heads in the sand really isn't going to prevent
Software Patents in the EU.
Similarly, electronic means of a rallying cry really aren't going to be
heard.

Not having checked the logs on wylug.org.uk I can't say, but I suspect
that Tony 'W' Blair won't have had a nosey...

More likely, a concerted and co-ordinated effort to physically 'say'
something at number 10 might create slightly more awareness.
Interestingly, would advertising space at certain locations in London
be better ?
OK, I'm not advocating dragging billboard up the Thames on a dredger,
just a well co-ordinated campaign.
Possibly even with an easily recognisable logo ?

Naaaa - forget it, I'm just rabbiting on again - I'll shut up...
