The only thing more useless than signing a petition is a slacktivist hashtag campaign. The company isn't forced to acknowledge, care, or do anything about a bunch of random people online petitioning them about something. Hell, it's kind of embarrassing when you consider the truly viable reasons to petition people.
I'll keep my trap shut about the stir I created earlier with loose lips after NAMM, so all I'll say is the same thing I said at the time: just be patient.
