Paul,

I hope David Stacey takes the time to read your email; I think you have presented the negative implications of the proposed change clearly and respectfully.

Jim,

Without meaning to be cheeky, I would expand your sentence, 'I suspect when a new CWGC search appears it will be more helpful to researchers than is currently the case' with 'but sadly, still a poor substitute for Geoff's Search Engine.' Pessimistic or realistic outlook? I think both in this particular case.

I feel that this change displays a very blinkered approach to remembrance. In fact, I still haven't got over the pettiness of the reasoning behind the new implementation. Substitute 'database security' with 'data control'.

Stuart
