The only way this can work is to fire off the letter in the morning, right after reading the paper. In this case, I wrote the full deconstruction of the article, posted it as a story, wrote immediately to the FT, and posted that letter as a comment.

I suppose I could post the draft letter as a comment before sending it off, and get it polished by the readers then on the site. This can work only if the comments come reasonably quickly, in order to keep the momentum of the endeavor (and not be caught by other activities of the day).

So I'll try to do that next time.

The other option is to try to polish some comments from the Breakfast threads into something more LTE-compliant. That could be easy and done by anyone.

Just remember J, your...well...you! You've got the Midas touch with writing, is what I'm trying to say.

But anyway, I do wonder if we could put "letters to the editor contact info" in the wiki, or in our menu somewhere, so we have ready access to that. Also, how about our favorite journailists addresses?

ideas, anyone?
