	It is to replace the Your Letters/Feedback for BBC externals.

	It is is run, badly, by a contract service and casual
	employees around the world (Toya Lawton, for example
	resides in Vancouver, B.C. and doesn't get BBCWS) working
	for VisionCritical.

	Total waste of effort, and few 3rd world can afford or 
	really make the contact.
