Acknowledged, yet I'm not willing to be completely apathetic in 
response to growing complexification.  Therefore working on a specific 
petition to the Canadian House of Commons.  Description here.

I know this isn't Oberon specific.  Definitely is relevant to 
simplification.

To make the petition viable I need to find five residents of Canada 
willing to support it.  When I have five supporters, will ask my M.P.
Elizabeth May to authorize it. The name and address of each supporter 
will then be submitted to the Clerk of Petitions in Ottawa.

I'm interested to hear from anyone willing to volunteer support.

Thanks,                           ... Peter E.
