Ok

I recently decided to contact the bbc text pages with regard to listing
dfey as a group.  I have attached the reply which also has the original
messsage (mostly copied from the dfey website, as I thought that
explained it well enough,).

It seems this is not in clear enough language for them to list, as in
what sort of freedoms, etc anyway as you can tell from the reply we need
a bit more clarity on what we do.  Is there a way to explain things in
Plain English without risking patronising young people who this is aimed at.

Paul
