«Dear readers and fellow letter-writers, don't
be so burdened! Write, or don't write, but enjoy it when you do. It's nice to
reply a letter, but there is no need to turn it into a chore; after all, if
there's a message that can't wait, you can always send an e-mail. (Remember
e-mail?) One of our editorial board members, the poet and publisher Éireann
Lorsung, put it very well: 'A letter,' she tweeted recently, 'is not a system
of debt.'
This is a good reminder.
