Your Letters

15:37 UK time, Wednesday, 15 November 2006

Re your request for pictures of our desks. I have pictures of my family on my office wall, they do not restrict or degrade my performance one iota. They remind me that I am not at work to enjoy myself or agree with what I'm told to do. I am there to provide for my family and this has kept me at my desk on more than one occasion.
John Elvy, UK

Given that by Procol Harum was based on Bach's Air For The G-String, how can Matthew Fisher claim to have written it? Shouldn't he sue the estate of Bach instead?
Johan van Slooten, Urk, Netherlands

Liam wonders what extra protection getting fingerprinted five times in a day at Disneyworld can possibly create (Tuesday letters). Well, not much for him - but for the park it means that he can't give his pass to other people. I don't know if they justify it by rambling on about homeland security etc, but the real protection is for Mickey's cash flow.
Nigel, Edmonton, Canada

Regarding copyright of fingerprints (Tuesday letters): is this what they mean by Digital Rights Management?
Phil, Cambridge, England

Yarrum - I put it to you than in a vain attempt to disguise your identity you reversed your name and are in fact Peter Murray.
Andy, Leeds, UK

To Simon of Milton Keynes (Tuesday letters), many cinemas still use film-based projectors. I went on a tour of my local multiplex cinema a few months ago and they were saying how film reels are literally cut and pasted together before being run through the projector. It was a fascinating tour, and one that really opened my eyes to the reality - film is still favoured over digital output in cinemas.

Following on from the over/under whelmed debate (Tuesday letters), I think all Monitorites should try and get the word "ruth", meaning pity and compassion, back into popular use as opposed to just ruthless.
Juliet, London

On Monday morning I was whelmed to receive 15 complaints from neighbouring flats about my party on Saturday night. It seems like a lot, but frankly I was expecting more.
Phil B-C, London

Re Punorama, the West Wing was not a sitcom. It was a brilliantly scripted, excellently acted political drama. Commander in Chief (More 4) is not a patch on it.
Rosemary Hughes, Lewes, England

I have noticed that my contributions to Punorama and the caption sometimes do not appear, even in the list of losing entries. Is it possible to find out why? Is it just a simple error, failure to meet selection criteria, or an unwitting breach of site rules?
Colin Nelson, Bletchley
MM note: Probably all three.
