[Ann Drysdale]

I've been on the verge of trying to reply to this because I'd never really understood these code-things and was intrigued, though not unduly concerned. I believed that Alex had taken care of it in the workshop forums, from the bottoms of which, in the fullness of time, the workshopped work drips like juice from an over-ripe plum onto the fertile soil of forgettery.

Now, since we are not allowed to post any of our own work in the "other" forums, surely there can be no problem, and the giving of funny titles to work-in-progress to confound the wicked Beelzebots just troubles the cheerful innocents among us for no good reason. Innit?

The only reason to protect anything in these forums might be when quoting the work of someone else which is effectively in copyright, but that's a different issue.

Michael, the New Statesman issue was very real, brought up by the journal and solved by the combined efforts of the member with whom they raised it and Alex who fixed it.

And John, remember - some Editors are Sphere members! Be Very Afraid!
