h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Hope you don't consider this to be unwanted spam, but it seemed like the best way to contact Zaphodistas directly. If you've already signed the Petition, please consider this a THANK YOU note.]

In a recent column in the h2g2 Post, Fragilis noted that the Petition for Greater Freedom had collected 76 signatures, and appeared to be slowing down. Where are the 180+ researchers who signed the original Zaphodista page?

If you felt compelled to sign that first rant in order to show BBC how you feel, please draw your attention to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A544943 and consider signing this petition. It's toned down, it's serious, it bears a little more credibility because it was written and sorta "workshopped" by some non-Zaphodistas too (especially Lucinda/MyRedDice, the unwilling Thomas Jefferson of the Zaphodistas!). We even asked Peta for advice on how we might modify and finally present the petition, and she gave it!

Signing the Petition for Greater Freedom on h2g2 is the best way to show BBC how many people still oppose their extraordinary restrictions. This time, it's not about the Goo Berets or the Revolution. It's about the restrictions.

Thanks for your time,
Deidzoeb

Hi Deidzoeb and thanks for letting me know about the petition.

I've popped along and added myself to the list of names.
