People take the time to read these letters and compose, mostly, thoughtful and sometimes clever and sometimes lovely responses. Great people! I'd love to meet most of you!
Cary, why are you posting fake letters? Oh yes, they ARE fictitious! So many of your letters follow the same pattern: a flawed, not sympathetic, or even distasteful letter writer, a writer who can't come to the point until the last paragraph or who fails outright to ask a question, and some O. Henry-type of detail near the end to keep the responses lively and divided. Or it's a problem that's completely off the wall. I guess you're mocking us with the off-the-wall letters. What, you can't respond to real letters? Or do real letters limit your ability to display your talents?
If this is a farce, you should either acknowledge it, or it should end.
