Serves me right for being late to the party and not reading everything doesn't it I see there's quite a choice. Thanks, I shall be using a few of those.

I (and a few others) have already tried getting this message to the posters over there. Unfortunately, most of the posts disappear off the front pages faster than you can say, "This isn't saving me cash, I couldn't be less interested".

Nice idea, but most people over there don't seem to be interested.

OB
Have you tried posting to get the attention of the mods, or Martin Lewis himself. He's keen for publicity apparantly, as reported on various other forums so he may pick up the mantle and run with it. I don't think it's a case of various people not being interested, more a case of them not understanding the technicalities or the consequences of it.

All that's getting through to them is that it's another piece of anti-spyware and privacy protection. Of which there are loads already out there, they won't necessarily grasp that Phorm see their data before they see it appear on the screen and alter it accordingly, unless it's put accross as though you were talking in a manner similar to that you would use to speak to a 3 year old. Well that's my opinion anyway

Once again, thanks for the links to the signatures.
