Subject: Breakfast - Radio 5 Live 3559402 Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 16:33:11 +0100 (BST) From: INFO@BBC.CO.UK To: *[ editor at perceptions.couk.com ] Dear Mr Dickenson Thank you for your e-mail. I am sorry you were dissatisfied with my reply. The BBC is satisfied with the accuracy of its reporting in relation to the points you raise. However, whilst this department does its best to answer enquiries and comments regarding specific items in our programmes, we must always be mindful of the limitations of time and resources if we are to apportion an equal measure of service to the whole of our audience. In brief, we are not always able to respond to lengthy critiques on the same subject arriving regularly from one source. I am sure you will understand, that the expenditure to do this can only come from the licence fee, and the result is that resources are then diverted from the proper function of the BBC which is to provide programmes. We will continue to register any further comments that you may make, but because of the demands on our time and limited resources, we may not in future be able to acknowledge receipt. I would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your continued interest. Yours sincerely Marcus Foreman Editorial & Investigation Team BBC Information - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * { 'insert' ] ---------------------------------------- Latest - see yet another complicated cover-up from BBC by BBC SCIENCE FRAUD at: "http://www.perceptions.couk.com/bbc2.html" ---------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/bbcwaffle.txt
