As H. Ross Perot would say, "here's the deal."
The Daily News will print letters from the Vision2020 list as regular
letters to the editor. To make it happen, simply copy in
<letters@moscow.com> as a cc in the header file. Your full name and the
city you live in would help too.
What kind of letters? Any kind of public discussion. Frankly one benefit
from the 2020 list is that regular comments could be shorter and more
frequent rather than longer polemics. The length of a paragraph or two
often makes the most powerful letter. You might also remember that
newspaper readers might not have the same context, ie, responding to other
comments, etc.
So let's give this us try. We look forward to this experiment. We will only
print those letters copied to us -- so don't worry about changing the
nature of ongoing conversation.
