Perhaps because he made it a "Sticky"? To do that means he/we would need to go into your post and "edit". whistle:

Selective quotation uncle  noooo:

It continues:

Quote
However dozens of people have emailed about this petition.  Guido has spoken to Civil Service types who confirm that under the rules of the petition service this petition is valid and permissable since it is non-partisan.  It has already attracted hundreds of petitioners in support.

Something tells Guido this could be big, really big.

I know you are correct but I've signed up anyway.
