Dear Dan Ackerman ,

While any attempt to tear down the wooden stop walls of the fortress playhouse that the Times ’ electric circuit incision editors splatter together using their own globbing drool for mortar is A - O.K. with me , perhaps it would be best if you were not to – on the same front Sir Frederick Handley Page that apply a copy of your land site ’s placental press release – grant that the editor in chief of the very same issue you have swear to mildly dress down have , in your third week , “ finally scooped ” you . While I can infer from your posts that you have chosen to poke fun them with satire that treads the tongue - thin middle path between Readers ’ Digest and barbiturate – sort of a ‘ life story in These United States ’ for the date assault generation – it would be more striking for the three or four of us who plan to visit you every Thursday ( and perhaps on Monday to reread , if you publish a big print edition ) if you were n’t to wave an off - white spittle tag end so betimes .

Thank you for your time , and may I commend your amazing success in creating such a elusive parody of the Circuits division itself , so absolutely ape their threadbare prose and spasmodic fits of metaphor to spotlight your overall ironic message .
