    Dear Sir/Madam, 
    
    
    Please see the two attachments.  The first one contains yet more replies and in the second is an update of the Snake Killing list which now supersedes anything you've received in the past.  There are those who claim to be no longer involved in these events, we have looked them up and have been unable find evidence to counter this so have now taken their details off the list and placed them onto a removals list which we keep for our own records.  If evidence is ever found they can always be returned to it but for now we'll concentrate our efforts on those we know are involved.
    
    
    Bombarding with emails I believe does many things, a petition containing a hundred signatures (a nice round figure) will be laughed out of government, a hundred emails coming into a particular government department will certainly carry a good deal of weight.  More than anything it gets everyone thinking about what's happening and it's human nature itself we're tapping into.  Those receiving emails cannot help but talk about them, some will inevitably be joking about them down the pub, others it will effect more deeply, perhaps getting them involved with campaigns they may otherwise never had thought about.  But it will get these matters out there and spoken about in a much wider domain than would otherwise had been if no emails had been sent at all.
    
    
    Where there are pagefuls of contacts, these are the mailing lists we ourselves use, then fair enough, but anyone's welcome to join in which is why it is we send those out as well.  But where are only a handful of a select few we hope a good deal more actually get involved.  For those of you who are still not familiar, it's easy, just highlight and copy them in a block and paste them into the BCC. line, write your message, press send and the job's done.  With some services it's easier than with others, some will only take half that amount, but that is the basic idea.  Any replies you get, write back where appropriate and challenge what they tell you, send copies over to us if you like.  This is what real campaigning is about and it's always interesting to see what others may be getting.

    M. Robert Piller:
    
    Copy and paste them into the BCC and send?
    
    Are you sure?
    
    Who is BBC? 
    
    Is something like the Labour or Conservative Blog fascist government, depending on who is on duty?
    
    Thanks for your help and expect an answer to read the two attached files, which I have not dared to read to the clarification requested.
