It seems that recently it has had a bit of a slimming down, with many parts of the site being reduced to ‘<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/profiles/default.stm">nothing to</a> <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/notes_and_corrections/default.stm">see here</a>‘ messages. However, by following just one link from the main homepage: ‘styleguide’ and you will notice the left hand menu still has a link to the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/notes_and_corrections/notes_a_-_z/default.stm">archived ‘notes’ pages</a>. Most BBC ‘downsized’ sites are <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/default.stm" title="check the notice at the top">simply</a> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/">frozen</a>, I wonder why they didn’t do the same here. One rational explanation might be that it was generating a large amount of email from those who objected to the BBCs stance on various matters and terminology.</p>
