John, I think you have it right. Unfortunate, because it's a cause
that most of us could probably support. To be effective, the
petition should have (1) a very brief statement of what should
happen. This one doesn't. (2) A clear method, preferably step by
step, of returning the petition to the right place. This one doesn't
have that, either.

It is completely unacceptable (as you noted) to overwhelm a
conference with unrelated messages. Like you, I didn't return the
petition.
