Dear Roy.
It is nice to be anonymous, however 50 million people could vote anonymous to end the world.  Who voted?
myverdict.net is fine to take a survey and help people experience DD.
However, there is no credibility, none, zip.
So if we are to actually create an Initiative, it will require authentication which includes personal information.
That is where a secure server comes in.
If you will not "sign in" how can we ever expect to convince the masses to network?
Regards, Bruce

Dear PVR,
I managed to get onto that site. I was however not prepared to sign the petition there. I am not prepared to post my postcode. While happy enough to give my name I can see no reason why the site would want to know my email address and precise details of where I live(available via the postcode info).
Instead I decided to post my support, as an international question, at myverdict.net

Regards
Roy

Dear Roy Daine,
I tried the link and found it to be working. Probably copying it and pasting it on the address bar may help.
Regarding your suggestion for posting the matter as international question on My Verdict, I would like to express myself frankly. Such mobilization of opinions are relevant and crucial in today's world. But being attracted towards it also depends on the individual's temperament. Some years back I used to be deeply motivated to express myself on such forums. Nowadays it no longer satisfies to merely express my view. I prefer to do something concrete to change the situation and hence my enrolment in the WDDM. I think many may feel the same way. If only you can modify My Verdict to act as a platform as I have suggested in my new thread, it would be great (for me and likes of me). It is no doubt a more pro-active approach and I wonder if it suits your temperament.

PVR, Tried to visit said site, there appears to be some sort of error. Why not post an international question regarding Burma at myverdict.net. I'll certainly support it. I'd do it myself but I feel that it is not my place to start threads. The site has to stand or fall based on other peoples use of it.
