Brevity, Please

Readers should try to keep their letters for this section to reasonable length—say, no more than 500 words which is about one PIM column.

It’s a good thing for readers to let off steam —we like it and so do other readers. But when the steam amounts to 2,000 words and we are warned not to cut a word of it, something has to give. Usually it means someone else has his letter left out and has to bottle up his steam for another month.— Ed.
