And in a about the internet standards role recently advertised, Ant Miller (one of the brains behind the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ R&D blog) says:
There's no standards war inside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ- there are a large number of very clever people, and in areas where new technology is to be developed and deployed, there are often intense discussions of what the best course of action is. To be honest, that's one of the best bits about working here- pretty much all voices get heard.

I've seen very few changes since the original relaunch. Although I still use the site (but a lot less than I did), I'm finding that I haven't grown into it and the same things still annoy me.
It feels like the bulk of the feedback has been ignored and you are taking the attitude of "job done". The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is (comparatively) good at engaging with its audiences - please don't let me down!
Sorry for mis-posting, but if you can tell me where I should post on this topic, I will happily go there.

The reason your comment will be removed from this post is because you're off-topic. Looking on the website I'm guessing that you're referring to this post on the Pope's visit: /blogs/haveyoursay/2010/09/should_the_taxpayer_fund_the_p.html on the Have Your Say blog.
If you feel your comment has been unfairly removed from this or any of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ blogs there's an appeals process which is outlined here: /blogs/bbcinternet/2010/07/a_new_appeals_process_for_blog.html.

They will measure the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's progress on this every six months and publish the findings
