This has been sent before but I am just stating it as a new thread

We all should send a partition(it sounds like the wrong word for the job, oh
well) off to fasa asking for all the out of print stuff to be available. I
would propose a standard email that you just copy and paste, fill in the
blanks and send. But I don't know if everyone agrees yet. So I'm asking who
would support it and if even a couple of people support it we'll do it.

Regards Arkem

I agree with that and would certainly be up for it

Unfortunately, email petitions are rarely useful. Most organizations just
ignore most of it. You *might* get a better response with a postal <he he>
petition.

If anyone's ever suggested it to someone at FASA, it's probably been
considered by those who have a say in the matter. But who knows.

I think they might appreciate the response better if we just suggested it in
the little comments line on the product response cards for all the FASA
stuff we buy.

Partition? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAA
Please spot the non-activist techie in this Email. Petition is,
usually, a piece of paper with a bunch of peoples' names on it requesting
a specific behavior or lack thereof of another party. A partition is a
section on a hard drive. I'm just trying to clarify, and I do appreciate
the humor this brought me this morning (damned cat sprayed my leather
jacket yesterday, I have not been happy).
Sure, what the hell, I'll put in my vote for it.

I think the word you are looking for is petition. And all of the out of print
stuff would be a cool think to release on an as ordered basis. I think a
compilation type book would fit best.
