i saw your letter too justin. did they keep the last one for months too?

it makes you wonder when people are replying to letters of the previous month, whether the author of the original letter even remembers writing the letter as FT have held on to it for so long.

<<Dammit, I just wanted to get rid of that s.>>

The last one only took three months.

I've noticed letters responding to stuff printed in FT turn up no sooner than two months down the line. (I was hoping for more about the mothman issue, particularly a response from John Keel himself. Especially after what Jerome Clark had written.)
