absolutely...all media have some sort of strength...a strenth of online and public is that some folks who may not be confident of where they are coming from have a not particularly painful way of seeing what others think.

on my kinder days I tend to view those decisions as based primarily on emotion 80) ...and I never underestimate the power of emotion.

First of all, I don't see how it would undermine what Jake has done, might even be supportive. While I don't think any further action on your part (or mine for that matter) will elicit significant action ...I do see it as a simple prioritization of what the 'cost' of the effort is. I remind myselft that the petition as it happened was far greater than I had expected...no points for predictive validity here. 80)
