Indeed it must be a new policy, John, from everyone's previous experience. I think you did mention once that either Vicky or Lucy or maybe even Tessa, knew about D & A and sometimes looked at it, but without at that time affecting anything.

One thing I;ve been meaning to ask: it seems D & A, though a site for member's own work like the other workshops forums is, unlike them, not protected from the web-crawlers. I've sometimes been disconcerted to find a mere first draft plastered over Google. Apologies if I've got this wrong, but could that be a factor behind this apparent new policy?

It was a particularly fine Spherean crop so I hope Vicky can be persuaded to reinstate the posted ones on this occasion, whatever the policy in future.
