PS And thanks, Bax, for letting us know what the comment was. Innocuous enough indeed, and rather neat. (They probably didn't understand the reference anyway.)

(And it was fairly innocuous: "Playing one Bolero a week may be regarded as a misfortune. To play it twice looks like carelessness. ")

You have to find the word 'everyone' and click to reveal comments by all and sundry as opposed to the 'official' R3 puffery."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The R3 moderator has become incredibly tetchy lately, anything that seems to be remotely critical of the perfect programming of the Dear Leader and his politburo and propaganda spokespeople is either rebuked or removed. I expect it wont be too long before the facebook page is pulled altogether.

My schedule last week meant I caught quite a few of the 10:30am 'celeb chats'. Prof. Steve Jones the geneticist came over to me as a most unappealing, dour man - I pitied Rob struggling to get anything out of him. Also, Rob seemed to be having to suggest the music to him... except one day, when Jones chose the end of Siegfried... the next day the Siegfried Idyll.
Unimpressive.
In contrast, today, ex-Communard Richard Coles was a delight.
