Maybe I'm missing the link, but I can't seem to find any previous letters on 
the ffii website, any chance you could point me in the right direction? My 
main query is really whether there is somebody I should ask them to talk to, 
or some action I should specifically reccomend they take? Should I be 
reacting to recent events (such as this 
http://swpat.ffii.org/news/04/cons0507/ news release?) or simply trying to 
persuade them how and why software patents are wrong.

Your guidance has been extremely helpful, thankyou so much for taking the time 
and effort to point me in the right direction.
