Thank you for reading my swill.

As you probably can imagine, I have been inundated
with e-mail the last few days so I'm sorry it has taken
so long to get back to you.

Typically I answer each electronic missive sent to me.
However there are so many lately, the only
way to acknowledge each is by this standard response.

Please know that between trying to write my
four columns and other news stories this week,
I have taken the time to read your e-mail and all the
others.

You probably will not be surprised to learn most readers
who have taken the time to write disagree
with my position.

Alas, that is one of the occupational hazards of being
a snotty burned-out columnist.

You may want to compose a thoughtful letter
about how you feel and send it as a letter to the editor at the
Trib. To get directions how to send it, please go to:

Thank you again for taking the time to share
your thoughts and feelings with me.

My best,
