This is by way of a pre-rebuttal …
Here at LDV we have been overwhelmed by wonderful contributions from readers, and it is taking time for us to go through them all, so please bear with us. As the Monday editor I have been sifting through about thirty posts just today. Not surprisingly, many of them make very similar points, so I am trying to select ones that add something new to the debate.
So please understand if we don’t respond immediately to you, or are unable to post your contribution.
We have a similar issue with comments. Every time I check the comments that have been trapped in moderation I find dozens waiting. We’ll do our best to deal with them but you may have to be patient.
