I take both points made by Greg and by Gareth. (My extremes of enthusiasm and of frustration/disappointment can lead to occasional over-reaction :)

Two quick points and I shall leave it there:

(a) It does seem at least "odd" that the Grace Williams Society should get absolutely no response to an enquiry regarding the "Missa Cambrensis". A failure to respond to one individual correspondent is one thing but failing to respond in any way at all to the society is "peculiar".

(b) I have my own personal website. I receive requests for information/assistance from people from all over the world. This sometimes involves a lot of work by me. Sometimes, in contrast, I cannot assist in any way. But I always try to at least respond to the person who contacted me. That is only common courtesy. On the rare occasions when I have forgotten to do this I have subsequently felt very guilty and ashamed.
It may be that Lyrita's postbag is so enormous that the company has neither the staff nor the time to deal with the correspondence but, as Gareth, says a standard reply to emails would be at least good manners.
