When, after many times of writing, faxing and e-mailing correspondents and presenters to raise questions on contentious points contained in programmes and articles, and, recieving no reply other than a card thanking you for comments, forums like this are the perfect way to air your grievances. Sometimes one feels helpless and ignored even though the point you are making is universally accepted as being deserving of response. Typical examples in my experience are "Question Time", "The Daily Telegraph", the European Debate, and programmes like "Drivetime" and "Folk on Two". It is also gratifying to discover there are many more people out there that share your views and are also interested to open the debate. If there are any bad manners creeping in then it is only borne of frustration and we would be wise to avoid it but wit, satire and lampooning are all part of the game and long may they be so.
