Although we do our bit and complain to the powers that be that make high level decisions and can also make 'waves' I think that education of the masses is very important aspect of the campaign. I wonder if anybody has a 'good' but simple method that works I can use with most people and doesn't make the person delivering the educational sermon (myself) seem like a person with a fanatical cause. I think I bore myself also too easily at times
Yes, I've noticed this too. Even on forums where people are 'in-the-know' and tech-friendly, some folk seem to think that "I'll block the ads then, thats easy enough, it won't be a problem for me" .. completely missing the point!! .. very frustrating ..

I think the best analogy to use is comparing Phorm to 'wire-tapping' .. people snooping on your phone listening to everything you say, that might shake people up a bit ..

Great news on the sticky by the way ..
