What do you think writing to the editor will accomplish. Had the article
been maligning, pugnacious, or libelous then I might agree that a letter
to the editor would be warranted. But if its just to complain that you
don't like his style of writing then it might be easier to just not read
his column! SAVE A PIECE OF PAPER AND A PIECE OF A TREE (unless you write
to Byte via The Source or something).
