‘Butthead Etiquette

There are lots of separate email addresses here at Scuttlebutt World Headquarters, but the one that gets the most mail is for the Editor. Each morning, we download over 120 notes to the Editor’s email address, and the flow doesn’t stop until late in the day. Of the notes received, many of them are ‘Letters to the Editor’ which comment about something in the Scuttlebutt newsletter. Our policy is to publish every letter that is relevant, but also to reply to each letter received. It might not always happen, but we sure do try, as we figure that if you took the time to write to us, we should take the time to write back. Call it ‘butthead etiquette.
