This is somewhat off-topic, but at the same time relevant for many of
you in the U.K.
I sent my own 'fact sheet' about European software patents to an MEP
who seemed more interested that most in this issue, due to the
mis-information being spread in McCarthy's so called 'fact sheet'.
Guess what I receieved in response? A letter which was an exact
duplicate of the E-Mail he sent me in response to my original letter
on the matter.

To avoid any ambiguity, the 'due to the mis-information...' part of
that sentence refers solely to my reason for sending out my own 'fact
sheet'. It never was, and is not intended to convey in any sense that
the MEP I wrote to seemed more interested than most due to
mis-information in McCarthy's 'fact sheet'.

I contacted the same MEP again this morning stating my
dis-satisfaction at getting a duplicated response, and received a
satifactory reply explaining the reasons for this very promptly.
