Hi John,

Yes. Support has been amazing though it has definitely slowed significantly over the past day. I'm doing all I can to publicize this as widely as possible. I'd like to see several thousand signatures, at least, before sending it. I estimate it'll be up for a couple of months. We're almost to 2,000 signatures now.

Its really amazing. I signed it last Monday and there were 1087 at that time.
Darrell, are you aiming for a specific number before you send it to Google's CEO? How much longer will it be available for signatures?

Hi Stephen and all,

Excellent. Everyone might want to listen to today's episode of Mike Tech Show where he discussed the petition in length. Kudos and thanks go to Mike Smith for all his support. It was also discussed on Father Roderick's Daily Breakfast podcast.

Hi Chris,

This is excellent news!  I am also a subscriber to Mike Tech Show.
Thanks
for writing him about this.  I do urge all of us to spread the word as
far
and wide as possible.  I have submitted it to Cnet and Slashdot
yesterday.
Let's all keep up the great work!
