An explanation

You may have noticed that a recent letter in the Cobourg Daily Star was published as mine. It was not. A mixup at the CDS made it look that way. What really happened was that I submitted a letter, which has yet to be published, and then followed up with a reference to this website. The editor of the CDS replied that the site was not legible in her monitor. So I sent her a copy of the anonymous posting and it was picked up by another editor as a letter to the editor. The result was that a letter I did not write was published under my name. I have checked with the anonymous poster and have been told that it was OK to let things stand as it is. So I concur with the sentiments and language in the letter but wanted to tell the world that the letter was not written by me but will accept the peculiar consequences as the intent was the same.
