On a general basis, both as an organisation and as individuals, we tend to keep nagging hardware vendors permanently. Indeed it appears that the Brave GNU World was dropped from the UK Linux-Magazine also because readers complained that I was nagging too much -- at least that is what the comments of the editor seemed to imply.
So I'm not sure that more nagging will help, rather than have the opposite effect of alienating people to our valid points.
What I believe we *do* need is more people to carry on and support this message; which is why we created the Fellowship of FSFE [1] as a means of _making support visible in a way that shows dedication_ to help show that our nagging is not just nagging, after all, but voicing valid points.
