Yet at the same time, whilst being perfectly reasonable, we feel that our unique circumstances have not been anticipated. We would therefore welcome some constructive feedback as to how we would go about submitting our work, and also how we can communicate effectively that we are in this for the long haul, and are committed to seeing it through. -- 2.30.2
