That's right.    Shouldn't Everyone visiting this site (typically just to find an alternative Geographic number)  be made aware of this unique opportunity they have to change all this, by airing their views Now to Ofcom ?

It needs something Upfront on the Homepage to show that this campaign is approaching a very significant milestone  and not just hidden away in the Forum.  I'd been using this site for years, before I first ventured curiously into the Forum.

Thanks for doing that Website Administrator.

That OfCom 'Summary' is still awfully dull and off- putting for the unititiated 'though.

Would it be better still perhaps to have a link, from your Homepage entry,  to  gdh82's thread   Spread The Word , to steer novices into the subject ?

That's if gdh82 wouldn't mind maintaining it as a launchpad into the subject.

It looks like you got your wish as I noticed the site owner has put such a thing up on the main page and I believe it is noticable as well and it counts down.

Thank you Daniel.

The problem now is this thread (specifically thread title and OP) will be out as the days go by!  ;D

Ah yes, I'd rather overlooked the timeless element of this thread .

My concern 'though is that the OfCom 'Summary' is itself enough to put anyone but the most ardent campaigner off going any further.   What's needed first of is a more succint and enticing summary (of the 'Summary')  OR a link  into the actual responses, that shows just how easy it can be to contribute.

;D Thanks very much to whoever (one of the superior users?) for making this thread sticky.  I was thinking it would look better with the follow-up posts removed now.  I've removed my own posts but could a superior user remove the others or should I send a private message to those concerned?

As discussed elsewhere, regarding a thread that could act as a guide to those seeking assistance when responding to Ofcom's consultation, I'd gladly develop this thread if other's could provide some input.  I was thinking a few short paragraphs summarising the main points when responding to the consultation.

Thanks again
