Great idea! Except theres no use...this petition will be just that...but alot of paper
First of all I totally disagree that it would be no use. Who do you think the antispyware team would be more likely to listen to, it's users or one person who sends a list with people's names on it (with comments). I admit it is a very large list, and possibly us including the fact that we signed the petition willingly in our email. Do you think that they will listen to one person who has thousands of names printed on paper, or to thousands of users complaining about this behaviour. I am not trying to belittle the petition in any way. I beleive that petitions are often a good thing, however I have not seen many Web based petitions have much affect. I generally attribute this to the person's actual signature not being on the petition. For all the Antispyware team knows, Patchou could have just used the Internet phone book to compile a list of 20,000 names and add random quotes to them. Of course it would take a good deal of time on his part to do this. Personally I feel that, without our involvement, they are less inclined to believe that the petition is genuine.
Second of all you seem to think I am spamming; you say I have created a double post. In my opinion, it wasn't a double post, it was the start of a separate thread that was calling people to arms, figuratively speaking. I created this as a separate thread because of my desire to bring my idea to the attention of as many people as possible. I figured that most people would not be reading the entire thread. Usually they just look at a few posts in the thread and add their comment to the end. As a separate thread, I felt it would gain much more attention and would get more of the MsgPlus users to become more actively involved in solving this problem. If you look at my posting record, you will see that I have never spammed here before (to the best of my knowledge except possibly in "Testing & Trashing" and probably not even there). I rarely post unless I feel I have something useful to contribute. Heck my current post count is only at 67 and I joined over 3 years ago.
The fact that you DELETED MY THREAD makes me feel a little less welcome, and that you believe that your point is the only one that counts.
