Actually its: "I wrote a letter and sent it to a public newspaper with the request they publish the letter, and now I don't want some people to see that letter (after they published it at my request), and I want it taken out of the archives of that newspaper (despite it being a well-known public archive, that everyone knows about and uses." Judge: "Why did you send it to the public newspaper and request it be published, if you didn't want people to see the letter?" You: "I didn't know the address of the public newspaper "Letters to the Editor" meant the public newspaper "Letters to the Editor," I thought they would just forward it on to a few folks I know about." Judge: "Why are you here?" jeff
