Hmmm... a comment says that HP censored their support forums in order to suppress the petition. Dell did something like that, too. They changed the forum settings so that the threads were sorted by the date of the first post instead of the date of the latest post by default. This way, the petition thread never showed up on the first page, users had to dig for it.

Do you guys think that Dell-Rollie's bosses intentionally gave him false information about the SE upgrade, in order to stop the petition? (The petition thread was locked after Rollie announced that an upgrade to SE will be provided.)
