Unfortunately it's being broadcast into everyone's homes here in Ireland a hundred times a day because the national broadcaster took a policy decision to follow the government's lead. I've found out that the government made a mistake and am trying to correct it. I sent to open letter to about 200 people in Ireland and in Europe who could make a difference, and am sharing it with colleagues elsewhere because it's about a quintessentially cultural issue. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
