LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sirs:

I must protest in the most strenuous terms the recent issue of your paper found here: http://forum.barrowdowns.com//showpo...postcount=1223

The lack of editorial content in this recent edition is only matched by the miniature size of the offering. How does one read such a miniscule paper -- with a neutron microscope? Having an exotic model seductively clinging to the issue may be a clever (albeit distracting) marketing stroke, but it does not make up for this utterly illegible ort of news -- not one jot! Not one tittle!

How can one scruple to trivialize important news by serving shredded smidgens of fragmentary commentary dabbed on a molecular level? It is peevishly small-minded and short-shrifts the reading public! It might play well to mites, bed bugs and the louse population, but I canot believe these make up a great percentage of your subscriber base (and one needn't be a bookworm to come to that realization). And the one picture barely recognizable on the front page? Well, it could be General George Armstrong Custer, Colonel Sanders or Charlie Daniels for all I know!

I expect a larger issue next time around, preferably one I can read without the aid of NASA and the Hubble telescope.

Thank you in advance for solving a large concern,
