Emails sent to the slower MEPs

Well, I didn’t get any new replies today, so I’ve sent the following “please don’t ignore me” message to the tardy MEPs.

Regarding the Directive on the Patentability of Computer-Implemented Inventions

Dear MEP,

I’m writing concerning a letter I sent to you on Friday 8th April
regarding the proposed “Directive on the Patentability
of Computer-Implemented Inventions”. I know that you’re very busy, so I
understand why I’ve not yet received a reply. However, this directive
has now entered the three month adoption/amendment/rejection period
within the parliament, and I wanted to make sure that you received the
letter, and that the content had not been overlooked.

I would not normally bother you after only two weeks, but the current
propositions impact on our IT industry would be devastating. I urge you
to read both my objections and those of huge numbers of real developers
within the UK and EU. I hope you’ll then agree that the directive cannot
be allowed to pass in its current form.

Yours sincerely,

Adam Wright

As always, I’ll post here with any responses I get.
