'This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules.'
'This page says "email us" but gives no email address.
'How often is the map updated? I've tweeted and emailed with details, but nothing has appeared.'
'How do we get a blue marker on the map, please?']It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
