Just out of curiosity, was your letter sent to the editor only, or did you also send a copy to the writer of the piece?
Why do I ask?
I have been surprised by the responses I've received from columnists/pundits/reporters (with two exceptions).
Their responses were not merely automatic acknowledgements, they dealt with the issues I brought up.
Gabby in QC: Had not done that--just tried but message not deliverable; the reporter does not seem to have a regular Globe e-mail address (probably a stringer).
