Thanks Lith, for all that work & giving us a place to make our opinions public at that critical time. I signed this one when the firestorm broke, and also another early one, that was out before the RoTK debuted. I think the petitions did have a bigger effect then people may realize. It added substance and concrete evidence to the presence of a large very interested fan base. I have no doubt that all the parties were very aware of it & it must have materially strenghtened PJ.s position as in fact the one the vast majority want to do the movie. It may not have changed Shaye's mind, but I think it very likely it helped bring MGM & P.Santz to prefer supporting PJ rather then NL in this. Well Done!

Did anybody in charge of it ever print it off and send it to New Line, I wonder?
