	People who run "Letters to the Editor" columns always speak 
	of the ones that arrive written in green ink.  And, understandably 
	in view of my job, I've had more than my share of green ink, 
	purple ink & 72 pt. upper case print-outs.

	Since most of us assume that `le style, c'est l'homme,' I suggest 
	to Andrew that he give up this tic of always referring to his native 
	land as AmeriKKKa or the U$.  Apart from becoming slightly 
	irritating after the first dozen repetitions, it casts doubt on 
	the validity of his posts - much as they would if they were penned 
	on violet paper.
