I agree with Nigel about the need to consolidate rather than just proliferating data. I realise that everyone would like to have their say on the issue and show their support, but this morning my mail included messages from Hamish Birchall, Roger Gall (The Shambles), Richard Bridge, and Tom Brown - most of it containing identical information. I even find that one party will e-mail me with quotes from an e-mail which I've already received from someone else. The amount of e-mail that I receive on the PEL subject (both at work and at home) is now far outnumbering any spam that I get.

Over-saturation with any information tends to lead to lead to apathy about it or sometimes even a counter-reaction. Would it be possible for Richard, Roger, Hamish et al to form a little group and only release consolidated information. I feel that this would have much more impact and would be more effective in the long run.
