no but, because of economic necessity, he is also having to help out at the pickle factory and play the xylophone in an indie band, so is not spending as much time here as in the past.
It seems odd that while the AB Editor is off, there is no-one to respond to e-mails. He's said before that his job as AB Editor is not full-time and now he has a Deputy who is quick wi removing negative posts but can't reply to e-mails at the same time.
Does this mean the same will happen whenever the AB Editor is off on his summer holidays or fact-finding in Venezuela or off sick?
