Default Thank you.

Thank you for your answer and comment.

So, if I were to change the words of the sentence, would for example:

(Original)
"Much play is made of the 'informality and simplicity'
of the event proceedings, but I don't think these
virtues need be affected adversely
by better organisation and smoother controling."

(Revised)
"Many people say that the 'informality and simplicity'
of the event is what makes it attract people.
But I don't think better organisation and smoother
controling will do much harm to these virtues."

be acceptable?

Or does "A lot is said" particularly have a negative or positive meaning?

Thank you in advance.
