A rare contribution ...
Speaking as an old pensioner with very limited technical knowledge, I would like to thank the anti Phorm contributors to the forum. When I first became aware of the issue early in the year I was incensed that ISP's felt they had the right to hi jack the browsing of their customers. Since that time I have firstly, made it my business to raise awareness with friends family and as many others as possible. I would add that many of those people have changed providers as a result of my efforts. Secondly I have sought to raise my my own awareness of the wider issues arising from DPI and targetted advertising as proposed.
It has been strikingly apparent to me that cogent well thought out and well constructed arguments have been developed in opposition to the proposed deplyoyment and i have been grateful to absorb these. In contrast, I have found the presentaion of of the case for BT/Phorm and their apologists (especially those who bring their ill informed arrogance to various fora.. they know who they are) to be nothing more than PR spin and obfuscation, not to mention downright lies.
I am further incensed by lack of action by the authorities and have been busy writing my own complaints, for the first time in a long life, I should add. I welcome the close attention being made by the EU authorities. Generally, I steer clear of party political criticism, believing these particular issues to be endemic within govt. depts of whichever colour.
The main point i wish to emphasise is that alongside the major contributors to the fora there are many, many others working to spread the word. We appreciate the efforts of more knowledgeable and more frequent posters and hope that in our own way we add to the efforts to make sure this is consigned to history.

Thanks and keep up the good work, I know I will be doing just that.

A final word to Florence, I have very much appreciated your contributions here and would be very sorry to see to see you withdraw. Please reconsider.
