LQQK what I got in email today...

I know the article I responded to was posted here, and it was fabulous! I'm not familiar with the website, but thought it wouldn't hurt to send them my last name and state! I xxxxx'd only because of the public nature of our group. I screwed up once before by posting a sattelite photo which I didn't realize had my freakin' address on it. Ok, here it is:



Dearxxxxx,

Thank you for your comments. Could you kindly let me know your
last name and state of residence (is it Florida?), so that I may publish
your comments in our letters to the editor.

Thank you for reading Swans.

Sincerely,
Gilles d'Aymery

2. Update #2

I love talking to myself :).........

Thank you. We very much enjoy publishing letters to the editor. I
actually wish we would get more than what we regularly receive (well,
I do not publish vitriol and flame!).

Thanks again.

4. Great Catch

Let us know when they post it. You might also want to add you letter in a reply to WG's original post. That way should someone come across the original they will find yours with a link to here too.

BTW, those of us that never get answered at only a tad jealous. But more happy that you did get an answer.

6. You know.....

...my first impulse was to add it to the original article link, but that would have been cruel to WG, bumping her post to the top and making everybody else go jiggy thinking she was back. I did add the original post in *this* thread :)

As sweet as this experience is, that is, having a blog pat me on the head, was hoping the message I was relaying here....positive feedback is more helpful to the MSM and our Blog friends!

(Generic)Know what else?....I think DU *overall* can benefit from more positive messages/posts in their forums. I certainly have a tired *ignore* & *hide* finger from all the negative shit. As we all know, feeds right into the anti-DU websites, which are horrible at best.

7. Thank you for sharing this small but real triumph, Catch!

You did it, but we all share the pride and satisfaction. Looking forward to hearing more. LTTE's do have an impact. Speaking for myself, I know I should write more of them.

8. Here it is !

(scroll down to the Chris Matthews topic)

I so agree with you Hope that our positive feedback does nourish free speech at any level of journalism. Probably why the MSM is so fearful of these small liberal sites...which I'm proud to be included in :)

...and so much for my x'ing out my personal info upthread
:silly:

9. Way to go Catch.

Went and read. And it was still smart to x your info up thread.
