Thanks to all who have written to me about my mediawatch letters. I
appreciate the support and encouragement. Here is one more, if you can bear
it. I hope more of you write to the media sites that have been mentioned
recently. P.S. If you hope to have your letter published, be brief, and
include your address and ph. no. so they can contact you. Many of us
lactnuts have been published. So we do make a difference.
