I get tons of email and snail mail, and it generally comes in waves. I've given up trying to predict which columns will prompt responses from my readers. Take a column on the inherent dangers associated with debit cards. I wrote about the relatively weak law that regulates them, as opposed to the much stronger law that protects users of credit cards. It was, in my humble opinion, empowering information worthy of some measure of positive response. Or at least a few angry challenges from loyal debit-card users. Surprisingly, responses to that column were nearly nonexistent. Another time, I included in a tip column what I found to be a clever, albeit not exactly earth-shattering, tip having to do with lemon water. ("When dining in a restaurant and the waiter brings you water with lemon, give those slices a little squeeze, add a bit of sugar to taste, and you'll have a tasty free lemonade.") Oh my. Angry emails and letters poured in. The most heated responses came from servers who insist this dreadful heartfelt notes. Thankfully these practice cheats them out of a big- kinds of mail surges occur more often ger tip because patrons fail to than those that are negative. And order a high-priced drink with while I am hooked on the convetheir meal. One letter berated nience and speed of email, the beautifully handwritten notes and customers who cards I get every day -- those dare to order "just prepared with so much love a salad and water," and care, are so appreciated. and then proceed to Now and then I'll get a drop in a slice of lemon message from a reader who and packet of sugar.

But dishonest? cannot predict my readers' responses. Unethical? Abhorrent? I just don't see It keeps me on my toes and makes mail time quite interesting, if not it. I would be remiss if I did not entertaining. Keep your emails, cards and letreport as well the subjects that bring trays of positive, encouraging and ters coming!
