Just a footnote to our exam result coverage today.
Four town secondary schools provided their results, spoke to our reporters and let us take happy, smiling pictures of the students.
One school told us to bog off.
Take a bow - Ifield Community College.
Fair enough they might not want us around the school on a busy day, but why on earth would they refuse to even give us the results over the phone or by email?
I know some people have little time for newspapers, but has it occured to the school's hierarchy there might just be a few parents who actually quite want to see coverage of their child's school.
Worse still, not disclosing the results will simply make people think the school has something to hide, like duff A-Level grades, for example.
This probably isn't the case, so why create this cloud of suspicion?
