   You seem to imply that the audience is small.  Don't say "we" all know it
   then, because I know the letters page gets a bigger audience than most
   of the paper, front page and funnies excepted.

I find myself usually laughing at the hilariously ridiculous opinions
expressed by crackpots and fascists in letters to the editor.  Some
letters to the editor are rational and deserve serious consideration,
but I find that having to sift these from the garbage takes too much
time.  I thought most people had the same impression of those letters.
Of course, your argument about the letters page getting a bigger
audience isn't entirely relevant either; after all, the Toronto Sun
probably has a very large audience, but that doesn't say much for its
content.  :-)
