Emoji characters for food allergens

>> I'll try to respond to all,

> Please don't.

What Marcel wrote was as follows:

quote

I'll try to respond to all, having not much time outside my main concerns, sorry. 

end quote

When I first read that, and indeed when I read it again after reading Andrew's comment, I read it as Marcel wishing that he could reply individually to each of several posts in this thread, but as he was busy, he would reply in just the one post, the post he was then writing, to various points.

Thus there was no need to ask him not to do so, as he had already done it in that same post.

As someone else has decided to post supporting the request, I reply that I enjoy reading Marcel's posts and that I hope that he continues.

These are important issues for end users of encoding standards and for consumers generally as they are about food allergens and the labelling of food packaging.

A request not to post and support for a request not to post without stating any reason whatsoever is, in my opinion, unfair.
