Always? No exceptions? You can't conceive of any situation whatsoever that spending time responding to a frivolous freedom of information request is a better use of a civil servant's time over meeting an actual immediate need of a member of the public?
I can see you editing your comment out from underneath my response, removing your abuse of public servants.
No individual freedom of information request can be frivolous? I can't understand how someone can think it can never be a waste of finite time and resources to respond to a request.
