   Emailing or postal mailing or even fax (?!) seems like a good idea to   
   communicate; the problem is getting your missive in front of the   
   eyeballs of someone who actually 'cares' or is competent to care.  Big   
   co/s live behind a wall of little people w/ little in the way of   
   language or tech competence.   
      
   I had a good friend who was a maestro at somehow getting his US postal   
   mail in front of the eyes of 'higher-ups' who did something; must've   
   been due to his years of experience in a military career and being able   
   to get 'gummit' snafus fixed for decades.   
      
   My little experiments in that regard were rarely as successful as his   
   were consistently; it is hard to keep that up when the reaction is   
   incompetent, like they can't even read what the info said correctly.
