I apologize for any and all I shunted to the letters section. Please try not to be vague, load your answers, or otherwise be cute, and please have a sense of humor about this. I'm not editing your copy on Sunday morning before I go to the gym, I'm not an open mic and a brick wall, and since people complain when they perceive other people get to do things they don't get to do, I have to drop some answers or I receive complaints and even demands from people wanting to change their own responses. I figure it's either be a hard ass or ban the complainers, and the former doesn't involve keeping a list. Remember when the feature disappeared for a year? That was why. No biggie, and I hope you'll still contribute. If you ever have questions, use the example five as a guide.
