Not only do they support the use of alternative transportation, but they try (with their limited resources) to fight for the a change in the current legislation and they sit in on planning meetings to do the best they can to make sure issues like the one you mentioned are addressed. With that I also wanted to let you know that BikeAthens has partnered with Jittery Joe's to create a new coffee called "Alternative Fuel" a portion of the proceeds will go to help BikeAthens increase many of its programs such as bike and driver education and its bike recycling program. Again, I am not sure this is something you or those you subscribe to your blog would be interested in, but I thought I'd let you know. If you are, the coffee is being sold at all Jittery Joe's cafes but BikeAthens gets a larger percentage if it is bought directly from us at the Bike Recycling Shop in the Chase Street Warehouse. If you'd like more information, please visit bikeathens.com. Thank you for you time, Donna Wilcox dwilcox85@yahoo.com Hi,

DOH! I hate that big companies do that, though I understand it: with the size of their membership, it's the easy way to wean out the majority of issues have. SO I replied to them, elaborating for some human to read, including a link to this letter. I'll update some more when I hear back from them. UPDATE:

Turns out, MySpace has upgraded their profile module (they call it "Profile 2.0"), and it appears you can get rid of the darn intrusion. It's a rather involved process, but I get to decide how much is visible in the "public" portion of my profile. So far as I can tell, this solves the problem... for the future. But who's going to compensate my mom (and her friend, for that matter) for the shock they received? Can someone erase the memory, maybe? No? Didn't think so. Thanks, MySpace. Thanks a lot. Oh, and by the way, what a horrible way to find out about the new settings, anyway! How come they didn't tell us? It's not as though they don't have our email addresses, we need them to sign up! UGH!
