We are keen to encourage lively and informed debate but at the same time recognise that any blog requires some editorial oversight.

We will monitor the content of discussions and remove comments that break the House Rules.

House rules 

Please keep your contributions tasteful and relevant to the topic under discussion. Also please:

• No inappropriate usernames (vulgar, offensive, etc).
• No defamatory comments. People and organisations work hard to develop their reputation. Please don't ruin it.
• No messages that are abusive or offensive and no swearing. It's just not nice.  
• No personal information in your posts: You are on the world wide web. It's a safety thing.
