Perhaps it would be better to measure quality and not quantity?

For example, is it better to deluge an MP with a mass of pro forma letters or 
a small number of well crafted thoughtfully argued pieces? Indeed if the 
volume of response is great enough the better letters could well be lost in 
the noise.

I personally won't be writing a response, not because I don't care or agree 
with the points you and others have made, but because I don't feel I have a 
sufficiently interesting perspective from which to add anything to the 
debate - I don't work with office tools regularly enough.
