While the cause is a worthy one, and one I fully support, e-mail petitions
are notoriously worthless. There is no way to control them once they are
loose, and political leaders pay no attention to typed signatures from
outside their constituencies. For the full story on a similar example, go
to:
http://urbanlegends.about.com/science/urbanlegends/library/blafghan.htm
Be sure to scroll down to the explanation at the bottom of the page. And
check out the links to the "Save PBS!" petition, which is five years out of
date and STILL circulating.
Please don't sign e-mail petitions, and when you see them, delete them. The
Web thanks you.
