It would be very interesting to see what a further 3 years of developments has brought in terms of the proportion of acknowledged vs unacknowledged writing... hint hint! You would have to stick to the original sample group, of course, and by using AMWA and EMWA members you have a self-selected sample with a vested interest, but it would be really interesting to see if the downward trend was continuing (good), accelerating (excellent) or dissipating (let's hope not!). Just a thought! Jackie Hi Adam
