Some e-zines and blogs do not have a feedback forum. Salon could eliminate this instant letters page and make us hoi polloi drag our sorry mouses over to our email accounts or, if we're really motivated, send you an actual letter. Either way, it should cut down on the feedback which concerns you.
Secondly -- and I think more importantly -- Salon could stop its slide into tabloid journalism and lowbrow controversy. Salon's headlines seem designed more and more to outrage people, and the content of too many of its articles is descending into the sophomoric level of high school underground newspapers or even worse, the crappy "alternative" newspaper here in D.C. called "Washington City Paper."
Then again, you and your fellow Salon writers could simply resist the temptation to peek at the letters written by slouching complainers like myself, but I bet that will be as difficult as it is for us to resist writing to you in the first place.
Cheer up! Global warming and bird flu and terrorism are going to kill us all sooner rather than later anyway, so what's a few letters?
