And this was 6-7 years ago, after several letters to the Editor (each of which was greeted w/ similar responses as your column). There was just no point anymore. <br /><br />And then, I'm @ a Writer's group meeting a month ago, featuring guest speaker - a columnist from same newspaper - bemoaning the decline in readership/jobs & community support. Seems to me, the Editors of these rags just don't get it...And then, thank GOODNESS for the internet, where we can go to get news that at least <i>admits</i> the slant it takes.<br /><br />Keep writing. Cube may be right - maybe writing for a living is in your future??<br /><br />Keep up the good work here.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706229786132028791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479178080500206440.post-10257218274833097462010-01-27T13:58:25.636-05:002010-01-27T13:58:25.636-05:00WHT- Thanks for the encouragement and the woohoo! ...WHT- Thanks for the encouragement and the woohoo!

Glad you laughed! I liked doing this one. <br /><br />dr h- You may recall that the paper did take my advice sometime later with the addition of conservative columnist John Tomlinson.
