Mailed the Belgian MEPs again.

I've just mailed our Belgian MEPs on the Software Patents issue again. This isn't the first time I'm doing this -- last time was before the last europarl elections, though.

My mail was quite a bit diferent this time, as compared to the previous one. Based in part on one of my previous blog posts about this subject, I'm trying to convince the MEPs that they should vote against this directive, even if they support it, because I think (and I hope they do so with me) that if we do get a directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, at all, it should be through a democratic process, rather than through people switching off other people's microphones so that they can claim consensus due to lack of opposition.

Let's see whether it has any effect. I sincerely hope so.
