Dear Tamas, My post did not state that the solidarity or effort was invalid. It said that Internet petitions do not work. Most organizations and government agencies refuse to accept or even to read Internet and fax petitions. Various mechanisms are generally put in place to avoid receiving them. Real solidarity calls for the care and effort of an individual letter. If you are able to penetrate the bureacratic veil surrounding the incident at Sao Paulo, you will probably discover that much of the work to bring about a new position had to do with personal efforts and direct contact. Best regards, Ken --
