Is it necessary to post the same message in all the threads, even if off topic. The sign the petition message is everywhere, even in the I fund thread. I think people are even posting it to other people's account talk threads.

It's confusing enough to be annoying.

I agree

I would prefer to keep threads on topic so I can get the information I'm looking for. Excessive duplicate post on multiple threads can be very annoying when I'm checking for updates on threads I keep track of.

I'm sure It's just a last minute push to get the 4000 signatures so valiantly
faught for.

I agree it is spam-like and I'll delete the redundant posts, but braveheart is fighting for all of us and I admire his passion. There's a lot of folks expecting the other guy to do the fighting for them and he is just making up for them. :)

Go Braveheart! This is probably a good exception to what is a usually really annoying!

Since this would seem to be the least intrusive thread...

Curious if anyone whom has signed the "petition" included an actual email account. It may just very well be coincidence, but after returning from vacation found nearly 20 mails requesting me to sign petitions to save the wolves, save the whales and something about stopping nukes.
Like I said, it may be unrelated, but did use a valid address while completing the petition. I get spammed regularly, but just thought I'd ask.

Keeping the egg warm in the F fund for now.

If it will make them feel better, I'm sure NMCI will block them from the .mil domain soon. :suspicious:

save the wolves makes about as much sense as save the Bubonic plague

A pack of wolves are very family oriented - if our at risk population were to be more like a family of wolves we'd certainly have less crime to deal with.

Besides, the bubonic plague would do wonders for the mullahs in Iran - all we need to do is drop a plane load of fleas on Tehran.

Enjoyed the wolfs in Yellowstone,
But I don't know if I'd want them in my backyard!

Heh. Send 'em to me, I have scrawny, hungry deer raiding parties in my backyard. We asked Virginia Fish and Game what to do, they said, we'll give you a hunting licence. Problem is, with my house on less than a half acre plot, my neigbors would not appreciate me out trying to be Elmer Fudd, whether with rifle or bow and arrow.:toung:

Go to local barber shop and collect hair, place around garder, etc. it works!
