    Letters: same ole' same ole'

    It's become predictable what to expect in the letters as of late. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned kind of flippantly that after letter # 100 the insults ratchet up and civility goes for an extended walk. You can cut and paste the last 100 letters from any thread they'd all (almost) be the same. Unfortunate, because in between there are some thoughtful posts (and posters), some of whom have given me pause about a couple of my opinions. Shame.
