Now, now, there's no need to sling mud at British Library people -
they seem to be spending time trying to make money for their
organisation however they can, rather than distributing and sharing
knowledge with British citizens.

However, I also had a copy of that petition response and was in utter
disbelief that it doesn't *once* respond to the suggestion of ODF,
instead discussing PDF!  I've written to my (conservative) MP asking
his views and whether he'll help highlight the non-answer nature of
that response. I'll try to let the list know if I get a good reply.
