Bill, Are you possibly confusing my letter with Carleton's e-mailed comment to the Post? I snail-mailed my letter to the three co-authors at AP Headquarters because they don't accept e-mail attachments. My analysis of the AP Stylebook metric errors was a 3-page Word document (attached to a message here a week or 10 days ago).

How did you do that? Particularly, how did you get email addresses for the other two people mentioned the fourth paragraph? Bill
