We have lots of people on this board. Maybe if we wrote an open letter listing the things we want that we've mentioned and posted it with the addresses of the machine companies, we could flood them with letters. That would be far more effective. We could just ask people to use the template letter, add their name and address and mail. Large quantities always get noticed.
