More info on the letter.....

After reading Vergil's letter from Dr. Gott, I looked it up in my local
daily (very small rural newspaper). The letter from Vergil's column had also
been locally edited. In mine, after "Give me a break," Dr. Gott continues,
"Amateur privy-hunters could not possibly be a menace to reputable and valid
archeological enterprises. While I respect your views, you'll have to do a
better job of convincing me that your profession and objectives are being
compromised by a group of weekend pooper-snoopers." The he says, "Sorry, no
retraction."

How 'bout them apples?
