If you just look and don't reply to the post it will just fall away and get
lost.
So if 42 people took the time to look
and sent the email, this thread would have 4 or 5 pages which in turn would keep it at the top of the threads in this forum. You would have to agree that the more pages and attention a thread has the activity will keep it in everyone's attention, which in turn will generate more signatures for the issue.
I've seen thread that have caught my eye for different causes and on my own made the effort to draw attention to the thread by asking my friends to vote and post for different causes. Which in turn some of these people also took the initiative to ask their friends for help as well. Just a little effort helps.
