Hi Ceci and all, Like many, many others (6.829.512 and counting) I saw the video "Let's make the Netherlands second" and found it hilarious. I also tried to sign the petition. Same here... there was only one signature and after signing my signature did not get registered. I tried a second time, using a US IP address. After signing the site clearly stated "You've successfully signed the petition below. Your signature has been verified and counted." But still I don't see the counter move from '1 signed' to '2 signed'.
Yes, the petition is jocose but it's also a political statement/reaction. Let's call all our friends to sign... As a Belgian it would be great to see the Netherlands be second ;-) *Bram Wets* co-founder *Privacy Training Center* Privacy Training Center <http://www.privacytraining.org/> www.privacytraining.org <http://www.privacytraining.org> Unencrypted email can be read by anyone!
