Lost, me old skip jack son of a sea dog.
Whilst I'm sure the vast majority of people would agree with everything you say, I feel it may be a little harder to actually get them to act. I for one am more than happy to voice my displeasure, and this whole episode is making me think of my next move VERY carefully.
Getting everyones ears to go pop on the same day would certainly make people take note. However, it would only have the desired effect if you can get enough people on board. On paper that shouldn't be too hard, in practice?....
Come to think of it, I am a little bit sniffly today. Is there something going round?
