The responses have just been incredibly interesting. I always say you don’t run a survey unless you don’t know what people are gonna say. And people have just been incredibly honest about what they expect and want.

I’ve just had a friend of mine suggest that I take off the quote capacity. Look, I know that this gets used by bad actors, who cares they can mock as much as they want. In the end, they’re bloody awful people. But I think it’s really important that we keep experiences visible for people who need it.

Yes!

Thanks Prof
