an alternative, how about an email out to all direct customers outlining your

So, if your telco diverted you to a political message on your first phone call
of the day, you wouldn't consider that a breach of supply?<br>
<br>
Banners on your own sites (news pages, billing pages, webmail pages etc) are
one thing but to divert traffic for political purposes is not quite in the
spirit of opposition... and arguable that a corollary to this is that all
potential rapists should be raped?<br>
<br>
Not my preferred campaign method, no. And I remain opposed...<br>
