Yes, you're right - there was a 300db noise on your blog and the forum too. It felt like the world was about to end. 300 out of 17,000 is not proportionate of the Alamy contributor base so I have included your clarification above, quoting you in the main body of the post. Looking forward to the further announcements. PP Hi James,

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, you’re right – there was a 300db noise on your blog and the forum too. It felt like the world was about to end.

300 out of 17,000 is not proportionate of the Alamy contributor base so I have included your clarification above, quoting you in the main body of the post.

Looking forward to the further announcements.
