One can't help imagining the impression it made on the barely post-pubescent intern given the task of reading letters to the editor. That poor soul, whose eyes are doubtless being opened at this very moment to the folly and futility of choosing a career in journalism as s/he sees the imminent departure of one-quarter of the Chronicle's newsroom staff, doubtless filed it with the missives demanding that the Chron use the power of its mighty presses to rally Diet Smith and General Bullmoose to design and manufacture sufficient mylar-coated tinfoil hats to defend America from the menace of Martian telepathic disinfotainment. In the words of the dear departed Kurt Vonnegut, and so it goes. The letter gave me great amusement.
