Hey Declan

(We met originally at the Financial Cryptography 2000 conference)

I just recently posted the results of a survey of MP (Members of 
Parliament, kinda like the Canadian version of Congressmen)...I basically 
did a little experiment to see how responsive they and their offices were 
to emails from their constituents.  Not very as it turns out.

The interesting part is where National Security branch RCMP officers turn 
up to ask me what the hell I'm doing sending emails to all the MPs.

The results and the story are at:
