Quick response to Jonathan's point about censorship. Ooh, I hadn't seen myself in the light of an Orwellian creature creating doubleplusgood opinions and rewriting history.

Yes, I moderate. I have never (and would not want to) removed any genuine comments but have had to edit loads of blasted spam (especially on the new site, more than on this one for some reason) and one or two perculiarly pornographic missives. I am disappointed generally at the paucity of open comments - people seem to be shy and prefer to send emails (perhaps this is more private) if they want to comment on something I've written. Again, something I'd welcome comments on, from users.
