Not in Best intererest of the Faith?? A letter from Bahai World Center Office of Public Information

I got this in may email box yesterday, which puzzled me.
Bahai faith is gernerally good beliefsystem, however its has its anomalies, like soemtimes one has to crack your head to get the idea what official letters have to say. Read on. Though, on bright side it develops my thinking :)
I removed the names of persons and private adresses except mine name

Dear Friends,


I'm sending this for your information, I feel it quite important regarding the "best interests of the Faith". Read the text below.
Best regards,

Alláh'u'Abhá dear dear brothers,

I've sent an email to the OPI of the BWC to ask the on-line denial.co.za
and I think that it could be useful to share the reply to you,

From: "Office of Public Information \(Web\)"

To: "'''''" <''''@'''''>

Dear Bahá'í friend,

Your email message of 10 April 2006, to the Office of Public Information,
has been received. In response to your query regarding the Web site
, while the intention of those who developed the site is no
doubt sincere and the site has demonstrated its impact, the fact that
numerous identical letters of protest are being sent to the same recipients
is not in the best interests of the Faith. Therefore, it would not be wise
to encourage the friends to sign or send such letters.

With loving Bahá'í greetings,

Office of Public Information
Bahá'í International Community

My thoughts are in form of letter i sent today, to some local bahais

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000009
Dear Humans;
Thanx 4 the message ####!

I read it, and to be honest iam perplexed, confused, not getting the point!
I dont understand quite WHY
"the fact that numerous identical letters of protest are being sent to the same recipients is not in the best interests of the Faith." ??

Is it because A) that letters were numerous?
B) that they were identical?
C) that they were letters of protest
d) or the fact that alltohether abc they were sent same reciepents( which were many)

E)or that bahais should not partake in such signature collecting for reason of what? Is it politics?

F)or that that issue should be raised only through
proper channels ie Assemblies, PR offices rather than individuals setting up website with civil action effort? As the problem has been raised by PR efforts of Faith already?

Or that they that letters that have been sent have done its impact? Meaning issue has been raised, yes? Or it has caused problems or it has done good?

and the letter asked not to anymore send letters to friends and aquintances asking them to see and sign letters on website, because as i saw, case is closed?

if last is the case why letter uses phrases like " is not in best interests of the Faith" and "it is not wise to encourage?" Or should i start to read between the lines?
and assume that first could mean issue was not done in proper way, and second if you signed it, leave it single incident and do not fwd to wider audience?

Please could someone decode this letter for me
I d really appriciate
that
Thanks in advance
Khaled, The Alien King of Khaledistan ;)

Dear mr. palestonian, perhaps it's because letters that are auto generated from websites are irritating as hell and won't be read by anyone.

Thanks for many replies!
Hehe, i see someone with many names is trying to irritate me. But i could be wrong and they could be different persons or this is a program too ;)

Nevertheless i give the point raised in comments a credit, trying to put oneself in shoes in these agencys at least in thinking, that this could be case. even then, one at least glances and reads the first sent letter, so someone will read at least something, if they dont read all of them. QUESTION is it only reason behind the letter? I yet dont have answers to other questions. i didnt recieve reply from people i mailed but i can wait :)
