The corporation doesn't like my combinations

[Sydney Grew]

Why does the Corporation think it has the right to know one's personal and private email address?

I have been attempting to respond to the many points raised by Mr. Davey here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio3/entries/5991aa6d-b487-49fd-a7af-f52c9eb4c26c

but the only responses I receive are

"This combination isn't right" (although it - Arbiter - worked well three years ago)

or

"Give us your e-mail"

Who told the Corporation that they had the right to demand my personal and private email address?

Who is running the show?

[In the end I gave up and posted my intended response HERE instead.]

Perhaps the blog you cite is simply closed now, as it refers back to the previous set of pleasing listening figures, for Quarter 1. Since then we have seen the rather better Quarter 2 figures, published on Thursday. As to your comment that 'Pride comes before a fall', as Mr Davey commented to me only two days ago (in imitation of Herodotus, I take it): "Fortune, being a wheel, goes down as well as up, taking men's affairs with it." So he is well aware of his perilous position.

I thought they went round and round.Good thing he's not a car mechanic.

Sorry ff I was being facetious, prompted partly by irritation at the poor paraphrase.

Heh, heh - I suspect he was thinking specifically of the Rajar figures. Or even his investments
