I don't think anyone is suggesting letter-bombing the publishers about DRM, but a well worded explanation about why they lost $xx in eBook sales might be noted if several people send similar messages.

Then there are people like me who can no longer stand the idea of reading a paper book, but still want/need to be able read the latest book by my favourite author. In this case the publisher is getting $ for their DRM eBooks, but the publisher still doesn't know that over 60% of my eBook collection is legally acquired DRM free.
Maybe Fictionwise has this statistics - how many DRMed and non DRMed books they sell. If this information will be available for publishers - it may help.
