Is it too much for some of these elected officials, and their staff to read what I actually sent them? Essentially I've written a letter of complaint, and they have responded with an email of what they going to offer. It's almost like if they say it as loud and as many times as possible, it will silence any on opposing it, and it will just get implemented.
I guess I have to consider myself lucky that the response did not label me a paedophile, or a supporter of child pornography!
Do we really want elected officials that do NOT listen to what the people ask them? I doubt the good Senator Conroy even has a good understanding of the internet (according to an article on apcmag.com). Do something about it!
The challenge in getting an answer Ric_Man, lies in the nature of the Internet. Groups of people, most of them putting less thought into it than you, are bombarding the easily reachable email addresses with a mix of genuine questions, complaints and mostly thinly guised spleen venting and spam.

If they needed to actually write a letter and post it, the volume would drop by 98% and your genuine complaint would get some time and attention.

Sometimes we are hostage to the technology we love so much....
I will admit I did use the "template" email (from the nocleanfeed.com site) to start off with, but I did add my own bits. None of the personal comments were addressed by the good Senator Conroy. Hopefully this whole censorship machine will just die, as more opposition grows.
