Back when print papers meant more than they do now, I did manage to get a few letters printed. I did this by (1) only writing when I had something unusual to say (i.e., 100 people wouldn't be writing in with the same thought), and (2) keeping it as brief as possible.
ReplyDeleteI will say, this guy held to those rules.
You old stag, you!
