Thank you, Barb!  I don't like to admit it in public, but I often get a bit
tired of "activist spam" myself.  This link helps me advocate for a better
way.

I'm not certain it will catch on, though.  The forest campaign was run by
people willing to put out a lot of effort over an extended period of time.
The people who yield to using spam -- advertisers, politicians & activists
-- seem to be "instant gratification" types.  It's just so much easier to
slap out a plea for the Dyslexic Albinos of Southern Biafra and cc it to
everyone on Yahoo.
