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.
I think we ought to do something there. There are huge threads with lots of views. It would take a number of us to go over and keep the thread near the top.

How about something like "BT, Virgin Media and Talk-talk will cost you more than money" ? maybe start from the angle that you will be snooped on, but they are not offering anything in return, no discounts etc., just to get the discussion going. Education later.

If a few people are willing to help keep the thread current, i'll start one up.
