They decided not to publish any of them. When faced with a "pitchfork moment", they ignored the shouts of protest and locked the doors. Is this is how a free press operates?

:mad:

1. Did they say anything at all?
Maby a notice that there had been so many letters they hadn't been able to read them all yet, or something like that?

3. Nothing!

I was told my letter would be published. I was also told they had so many they were having a difficult time picking out those to publish. Seems to me, a responsible press would have put two extra pages in the paper. After all, our country is only going bankrupt once.

2. How do you know that they were inundated?
Just curious. In any case, it seems like they should have published at least a few representative examples...
