Use one of those "Free 5" accounts from EISA (http://www.eiasafree5.com.au ) as an expendable account from which to send the protest e-mails. I think the idea of a single day on which we all send protest e-mails is a great idea. Instead of having all of us send e-mails on different days, we can magnify the effect. I nominate the day the GST comes into effect (1 July, 2000) for the first mail bombing.
