I grabbed a copy on Saturday morning and really enjoyed the article - what fascinating backgrounds some of those people have - thanks a lot for letting us know.

Just to say, I completely agree with David. I'd say it was like a noticeboard in a coffeeshop - the test isn't whether it's 'for profit' or not - it's whether its interesting or not. Personally, I think stuff like the Times article or the Gym notice are spot on and thank those people for posting them. The infamous 'lizziej' post appeared on a bunch of other forums at the same time and wasn't relevant at all. But it's not like there's a handbook.

hedgetrimmer "It's accompanied by some brilliant portraits taken by Muir Vidler – really a world class photographer." Great article, really made me feel emotion having dealt with a lot of the people featured. And I have to agree, they are wonderful portraits (notice how the guy in the background on this one looks like the guy painted on the blackboard? spooky)  edit: and amazing to see that Linton Kwesi Johnson hangs around here

Ok, so much against the authors wishes I read it. Why's it in the women's section on the website?
