The Editor's Back Fence

We received this letter on Sunday morning:

Of course, all mail is capture by the United States of America. But I'm curious. Why are you providing the address of each of your readers to every other reader, to the controllers of the bots of those readers who happen to have an infected computer, and to the spammers the controllers sell addresses to?

Cordially, Joaquin

Answer: I hit the wrong button when I sent reminder letters to our list of subscribers by Gmail. Mistakes are made. This service is worth what you pay for it (free). Our doughty staff of 1.5 sometimes falls down on the job. If anyone out there is an expert on mass mailing software they're welcome volunteer to help.
