Hi :) I assume that they probably don't take much notice of individuals especially if the individual seems tooo keen on their product. After they have had differently worded requests from a large(ish) number of people they might start to look into it.
It would be great to have a standard thing to copy&paste (and perhaps modify a little) instead of risking being too much like Richard Stallman or too polite. Richard Stallman's approach does seem to get things done but it's good to give people a fair chance first.
