Dear Chris Minson,

This is in response to your article about the lack
of intelligent and single women.  It is mainly
regarding to the 'slam' you put towards secretaries
in general.  Being among that simple minded group
of people I took mild offense to the implication
that secretaries are lacking in a certain amount
of intelligence.  Oh, you poor innocent little man.  Don't
you realize what you have done?  You have just insulted
the one person who could make your working life a living
hell.  Have you ever had the experience of having your
paycheck suddenly disappear off the face of the earth,
or having the locks on your desk suddenly changed, or your
security clearance mysteriously vanish?

Now, we are not a vengeful lot.  We are meek and mild.
When we receive the 25th job that day (to be done in our "spare"
time) we smile and say "Oh, sure" when we would like nothing better
than to stab you in the heart and scream "NO" at the top
of our lungs.  We have to dress nicely when you engineers
get away with wearing shorts, T'shirts that should have been
condemned years ago and in some cases roller skates.

Personally, I don't care whether you think I am intelligent
or not.  I won't loose any sleep worrying about it.  But,
I can't help thinking that it didn't show any intelligence
putting an article like that on a system which your own
secretary has access to. It's a good thing you aren't in my
group hon, I would hang you by your heels.

I suggest you watch your hind end toots - every secretary
in the building is out for blood - yours!!!


		Cordially yours,

P.S.  You spelt 'regrettably' wrong.  Nancy
