Letters to the editor: A heads-up to readers

This no doubt will be as helpful as the time I heard a television anchor announce, "Don't worry if your power is off. CP&L is working on the problem." Um, if the power is off, chances are they aren't watching YOU, buddy.

Telling readers HERE  that we simply cannot handle faxed letters anymore ... yeah, about the same amount of logic as the above. Chances are, if you're still using a fax machine, you ain't reading a blog. :)

Of course, there are state legislators who shall remain unidentified to protect the guilty who still send us faxed letters ...

Letters sent by snail mail we still read and consider, and ones that make the cut we take turns typing. But letters sent by fax ... when the fax machine is not exactly nearby ... just too hard to manage. 

While we're on the subject, it is so helpful if you do not send letters as attachments in your emails and instead just paste the letter into the email's body. We're working on oldish Macs that don't like newish Word attachments all that much.

It's extremely gratifying the numbers of letters we get, the number of people who want to participate in the community conversation that we create on our pages. Continue to send your letters! It increases your chances of seeing print exponentially, though, if you don't fax them.

Thank you for reading The N&O.
