Well, to that last sentence Adam, I'm just going to repeat my earlier post!

2) More cynically, may I suggest, reader's attention span. With everything electronic and 'instant' these days, most people, unless they are anoraks like us, just want headline stuff, not the detail, so that they can quickly move onto the next piece of news or activity that influences their own busy lives. Sad but true, I think!
