I see where you are coming from and in a real world I would agree with you, but without a serious sponsor (and so far we have nothing more than tech blogs), we have to get our views across. And to be fair 'Fathers for Justice' aare now seen as a serious pressure group

I really want to see the headlines as well. Awareness is building slowly, but it is building. It needs to be based on concerned professionals.
A publicity stunt plays right into their hands. Fathers 4 Justice have been climbing up things for years. I'm not prepared to wait years for Phorm to be 'reversed', once it's here it will never go away.
Most of the general public believe the doctors who tell you that this drug is a lifesaver, rather than the people dressed up as beagles who do not like how it was researched in the first place.
We need to really think about this because we could end up kissing this campaign goodbye.

I've just posted this in the meeting thread.
"I'm not so certain that it's a good idea for this thread should be split from the main one. There are plenty of people who can't get to the meeting, but would like to be involved in the discussions about it.
We dont have seperate threads for RIPA or ICO etc.
It might be a good idea to have a thread about anouncements regarding the meeting. i.e. where to meet up etc., perhaps a temporary 'sticky' if the mods would agree?
But I do think the discussion for all this should be kept in one place."
Anyone agree?
