Hi Ron,
I Agree entirely with this (Phew!) I think the 'mass-lobby' was perhaps an
'off-the-cuff' remark, so to speak - speaking as someone who is guilty
saying things and in the end wishing I had kept quiet. (I don't have my
original e-mail's to check). Not to worry.
Have a good week.
Best wishes
David

Source Detail
David,
No problem with you not agreeing with me, we all have our opinions.
I only put my fourpennyworth in because of what seemed to be an attempt at
organising a mass lobby. (maybe that's a better expression than spamming,
although that may be in the eyes of the recepient).
Certainly everyone has the right to submit suggestions nor would I try to
influence that. I simply had reservations about the organising bit.
Ron Ferguson
