We need an Automatic Petition Generator (APG). Maybe running on a Pegasos server running OpenBSD, with a database of all software companies who have ever been profitable, have seen an Amiga in an old movie or TV show, or have made something of note for Linux. This could save much wear and tear on public forum bandwidth and harrowing news item posting episodes could be avoided forever! ...The URL to the APG could be linked with a Petition of the Week/Weak banner.*
* only mildly humorous. sorry. fresh coffee tanker is making its way up the lake to solve the problem shortly.
