Rod,
Glad to hear that your letter will be published. Let's hope they don't cut out all the
relevant bits.
As for the rest of your post -- It sure speaks for itself!
I must say that, in general, the SMH is a quality newspaper compared to what else is
on offer but they have
this streak of tabloidism that they give into every now and again. Unfortunately, for
those not in the know,
this gives it a credence that it would not otherwise have.
