It's always wonderful to hear the positive take on things. Thank you, Bruce. Coincidentally, this week GOSA Store and Press received an anonymous letter postmarked in Salt Lake City that said much the opposite. Since I did not want to edit or retype it in its entirety, I attached it as a .jpg image. While I (and apparently Bruce) disagree with many aspects of this view, I thought I'd pass it along for you to judge and comment upon.
