If there is a need for assistance (forum or PM), I'm only too happy to help. My telepathy is on the fritz, so if someone were to ask....
I feel it's fair to point out that a more coherent response to the Dig Forum (DF) request for input on the Southport Consultation (SC) wouldn't have gone amiss. It appears that BAJR and many BAJRites support the intent of the DF in so far as the SC is concerned. It shouldn't fall on the usual suspects to stump up for the "to do" work such as sorting through, collating and incorporating related thread responses. Browsing the various threads, it is evident how wide ranging the content relating to the Southport Consultation really is; the time required to collate this material is considerable. Is it really fair for "us" to rely on a few people to steer the change that is coming? It is coming whether one likes it or not. Personally, my take on the situation is that it is better to be a prudent and considered contributor (squeaky wheel as Sadie pointed out) rather than relying on the crass and pithy to get a thought across on a fairly important issue.
Ok...that's my 2p worth.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
