Hello J.J., I am aware of at least two cases where an online petition was helpful in resolving concerns:
1. My CAPTCHA petition back in 2006 helped to encourage Google to roll out their audio alternative. 2. The Save Serotek petition was helpful in pressuring FS to settle that lawsuit last year. I know these things from sources I consider to be quite reliable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.J.

I've never seen much success with online petitions, unfortunately. I'd be curious if the ACB or NFB would do anything, though FS is a major financial contributor to both.
