Sid.
You said this evening that you have Steve Ballmers office fax number and if 'we' had a group we could mass fax that number on a particular day.
Firstly how is this any different to Linux advocates DDOSing the SCO site which is an activity you did not like? Which political point are you trying to make by targeting his fax machine in this way?
Secondly if it was a good idea earlier this evening why have you now U-turned under a mask of responsibility? It's either a good idea or not.
As I stated earlier in this discussion I think our energies can be concentrated in a more positive manner

Each person would send one fax message only written by hand, not a form letter. This show the receiving organisation be they government or company the strength of felling. The Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) complained after Colin Baker's Doctor had remained off the air, the BBC recommision the series in response. In Norwich a local green group faxed the council to complain about giving free adverts to the airport. Shout99 asked people to fax their MP about the RIP bill. It is seen a legitmate form of protest. The fact is that even protest marches are technically illegal and stop traffic.
In condemned the DDOS of SCO unlike Bruce Perens and several members of uk.comp.os.linux who claimed SCO had attacked themselves so they could blame the Linux community, this was a strang consipory idea, see Google groups for the details.
There is nothing stopping have a party and having pressure groups, look at the environmental movement who has Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth are pressure groups while the Green Party is a political party.
