Agreed. I signed the thing before reading it (ya, dumb). Then when I read it thoroughly, I wrote the site and asked them to _remove_ my name. I told him I thought the letter insulting, and factually incorrect. It's guaranteed to do no good whatsovever, and will only make Linux consumers even less attractive. I think printer manufacturers must be appealed to individually and specifically and made to see what benefit can come from supporting Linux. Threatening them will get us nowhere. Miark
