If anyone is looking to help, we need to start working on our forum presence, educating people about the Save TSL movement on the different websites.

Oh and a friend of mine told me that last night (March 2, 2010), G4TV ran the TSL C&D news on the news ticker every 10-15 minutes during their mini-James Bond marathon.

I honestly didn't think they would take the story seriously when I emailed them. I thought it would be brushed off but I guess they can combine our story with the lawsuit.  8)

That was the whole point, Daventry. We are going to get this out there even if it kills us.

The list is about to get a whole lot bigger...  articles talking about the Save TSL Movement are starting to appear.  I have created a new section of the list specifically seperating articles talking about the C&D and articles talking about the Save TSL Movement to make it easy to keep track of new website articles as they appear.
