Dear Editor:

I have heard that you recently opined the lack of interest in the Barrow Downs Newspaper, and a pronounced apathy on the part of your once avid readership. Well, I can tell you from a personal point of view that from the moment I picked up your newspaper until I laid it down I was convulsed in laughter. Some day I actually intend to read it. But seriously, from everything I've been told the 'Downer is not a publication to be tossed aside lightly; on the contrary, it should be thrown with great force.

Sincerely and with the deepest admiration,

I read The Downer twice as much as anyone on this forum, but not as much as Schizophrenia Weekly. The Downer is a great newspaper, but not as good as The Sun for lighting fires, in fact I have lost a number of computers attempting to burn down my house for insurance purposes. We are both avid readers of your blurb, and so am I.
