Wednesday 18th January 2006 - Times online debates
Religion is still ahead of live music in the online Times debates. A new religious topic has pushed live music into 3rd place, despite responses rising to 30. 9 new topics have been added, bringing the total to 15.
Confusingly, their publication date precedes the Jamie Cullum piece. Anyway, 3rd is still a very respectable position! (See ranked response list below.) Many people have complained to me that their postings are not being displayed. One reason is that the site is moderated, and there is a delay between posting and publication.
