U2 Fans Petition for Better Fan Club

Upset not only about the Duals track list, but also with the U2.com fan club on the whole, U2 fans have started an online petition calling attention to the situation. The petition outlines many of the complaints that have surfaced recently about Duals - the new U2.com members-only CD that mostly features songs already available on other releases. In an unscientific poll we ran on @U2 last month, fans overwhelmingly gave Duals a poor grade. The petition also includes other fan club problems, such as selling mislabeled lithographs and non-exclusive concert ticket pre-sales.
Via a couple sources, we understand that U2.com is aware of the petition and the complaints, in general. Zootopia moderator Bajagirl recently posted that she doesn't expect any official response to the petition.
UPDATE: Bajagirl has clarified her post in Zootopia saying that she was only referring to the threads about Duals, not to the fan petition. However, an email last Friday from info@numb.ie (the official "U2 World Service" email address listed in most album booklets) to a U2 fan who works on another fan site confirms that the petition has been "passed on to our people at U2.com."
