The Dance of the Happy Geeklet.

Some of you may remember my SWEET MERCIFUL EVIL post from a while back. It related to this article in the BBC Online news. I wrote to the FDA regarding the chip in question - it was an email - and sent copies of the email to my Congressional representative and both my Senators. (Thank you, senate.gov and house.gov...)

Anyway, I wrote to the FDA, not knowing what other government regulatory agency to try. They sent back a note about ten days ago saying they couldn't comment on anything that was pending approval. This is fine, this I can deal with, it means someone read the email.

Then I got another email in reply today. My letter was bounced through at least four people until they found someone who could at least respond to me properly. They called me eloquent. I'm pleased.

( Here's the Feds' response, and here's my original email. )
