Dear Ms Lynch

How are you! As yet I have not received one note from you and wondering if you have adopted the Clive Everton motto of “Ignore it and it will go away”.

The BBC is getting some bad press and has promised to do better? The Savile name is seldom mentioned now and general incompetence and the elimination of secrecy is now the BBC’s main problems to overcome.

I sincerely hope that the problems set by Clive Everton over the Joe Davis copyright can also be broached and overcome.

Clive’s position as the BBC snooker consultant and advisor should be questioned before resignations are sought.

Clive Everton’s position as the “Voice of Snooker” publisher and BBC consultant with deep silence gave credibility to others; on ignoring the Joe Davis copyright.

It’s possible that the strong gambling lobby will win over “Law and Order” and mere copyright infringement as at least a billion pounds will probable change hands over this tournament alone. Daniel Marner@mrheyyoutwitterfacebookandyahoo.

PS It’s possible Ms Lynch that the BBC already has the snooker administration in place that you and the Cooperation would search for? DM
