Go here: http://www.e-thepeople.com/etp/
and search under Internet and Telecommunications.  You'll find the 
petition that Eugene is referring to.



Eugene:  Thanks, I found it by searching under the category for Internet & 
Telecommunications -- though the url you provided didn't work directly.

I signed it too.  Since this is a cool thing, (and I couldn't find it with
out the previous information) I'm gonna CC the perl-geeks and PLUG mailing 
lists.

Thanks for the information, and may we all fight the good fight.

Kyle
