You know, this forum is a novel way to interact with our readers and obviously, I've been really having a lot of fun with it. But it's still nice to get a letter or email that is specifically composed for possible publication in our print magazine. Since we created this forum, fewer people submit letters (or emails) with that purpose anymore, but we're still open to it. Obviously, something like this thread topic wouldn't make for a good letter (but it makes a great thread - thanks Philbert!)
It's funny too, that since the forum came up, I've been getting more 'threats' about writing letters. I'm sure you've seen them at the end of some of the threads. They almost never follow through.
