Andrew,
Apologies for this. You accidentally posted this message fifteen times (we
counted) and two different moderators rejected the message; unfortunately,
one made a 'slip of the mouse' and chose the wrong reject message.
We do not allow the swapping of personal details for fairly obvious security
reasons. However, upon review we appreciate that your message did not
contain and nor did it ask for any personal details, so please feel free to
post this on the message boards. I have sent this message on to both the
BBCi Communities Representative and the BBC Radio One Messageboard Host. If
there are any developments regarding the exchange of details, I'm sure they
will be in touch, although I obviously cannot guarantee any changes, nor any
personal information of changes.
Many thanks for your time, and a happy new year,
BBC Messageboard Moderators
