It's all about the marketing.

You never start a petition when the target is around. If you do, he'll click on it and say, 'oh, four signatures, this is not serious stuff,' and he'll dismiss it.

Instead, you wait until he's away, and when he comes back he'll say, 'oh my G-d, 4.6 million signatures! maybe I should get serious about this.'

I know one way to get the number of votes up - get Dan to include the petition in one of his roundups

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

My birthday is on Black Tuesday.
