Hi all,
We froze it on purpose because we thought it good that we brought it to everyone's attention - if the government's interested in what we have to say then it seems sensible to make sure everyone has a chance to respond.
For future occurences though, we'll look at at adding some kind of notification so that you know we've locked a thread at the top of active conversations - to avoid any confusion/annoyance.
Cheers,
MNHQ
