Perhaps because I was born in the 60's - but then everyone was protesting then! Perhaps protest is too strong a word. The English attitude would be too timid. "Excuse me, but if its not too much trouble, and really I don't want to bother you, is there perhaps the slightest chance we could get this data in some other file format?
