Well, that was a pretty dumb thing to do, wasn't it? No wonder Salinger's
not on e-mail, cause there'd be *some*one out there who'd find out his
e-mail address and spam him with stuff like that. To treat him like some
sort of novelty or joke is to me not only puerile but rude to him as well.
One of my favourite axioms is the one from `To Kill A Mockingbird' - `walk
a mile in another man's shoes'. How would you like it if someone mocked you
by sending them a letter like that?
