Toytown democracy

Changes to the Radio 3 schedules have generated a predictable amount of heat. I can't say I'm that upset by any of them, though in order to do my ironing to the sound of Andy Kershaw, refreshed by a glass of gin, ironing night will have to move from Sunday to Monday.  I suppose it is liturgically more proper to have Choral Evensong on a Sunday, though, being an atheist, it matters little to me when I hear it. Listen again in any case diminishes the importance of scheduling. If only more programmes were offered as podcasts....
I am a veteran of Radio 3, and indeed Third Programme revamps . I can remember the dear dead days when This Week's Composer, as I think it was then called, could be heard at 9 in the morning.
What puzzles me though, is why the BBC did not take this chance to do away with their antiquated message boards, and replace them with something more Web 2.0-ish....a blog for each programme, with commenting enabled, as a very minimum; better still, linking outside the confines of the BBC website to what people saying about programmes elsewhere. The message boards are hideous, in appearance and functionality like nothing so much as an AOL chat room in the early 1990s, "toytown democracy," as Mark Ravenhill observes in this morning 's Guardian.
