When dealing with the government, I always believed that emailing was the most ineffective approach to being heard because emails are so easily ignored. Voicing complaints via twitter is a sure fire way to let gov't officials know that you

I guess that the firefox addon isn't really a product either; it was a late night. Here are a few names off the top of my head: * Stylee * EaseSS (Easy Style Sheets? :)) * Flair ease * Stylify (Style-ify, Styleify) * Chic Sh
