i am wary of entering this thread but I am motivated to do so for two reasons:
First, i am sure that many subscribers to this list appreciate Frances' voluntary efforts to keep us all informed about the numerous media reports of what is happening in the public library sector.
Secondly, this thread seems to have deteriorated into a personal attack on both Tom and Frances and has lost sight of their concern that the Council's proposals will reduce transparency and accountability by reducing the number of elected members of Council while allowing Council to co-opt a third of the members of Council. Surely their concern deserves careful consideration.

Hi Lesley
I'm afraid filtering her out entirely isn't an option I'd consider as I don't want to cut out her e-mails entirely - she does have some interesting things to say as I mentioned in my original post. I should also add that I respect her right to post as much as she wants, I would just prefer if it was slightly less frequent. No intent to censor, just a personal opinion.
I think if you have one strong voice regularly posting in a forum then it tends to frame the debate and act to exclude people from the forum who might otherwise use it.
Anyway, that's quite enough from me for a while.
