Re: Readers Have Spoken On NH Primary Letters

As I read your blog and Mr Teeboom's comment it dawned on me you were missing something. You've been thinking paper instead of information or opinion.

There are some letters you're going to want to print in the Telegraph, but you can quite literally publish all of them on your web site!

Well probably not all. I'm sure there will be some that cross the line into lible. The obvious duplicates can be weeded down to a single example.

Everything else gets posted on the web in the order received.

It can be indexed by candidate (pro and con), topic, location of author and practically any other criteria you want.

Check with you web people and find out how much space you can use. Then set it so that after "x" number of letters the oldest get deleted. You might even set things up so any printed letter stays in the system.

If you want to get fancy, have a rating system for the posted letters and let any one who reads a letter and want to give it review and or a comment. That might be subject to some abuse though. Perhaps your web guru can think of someway to prevent stuffing the ballot box.

If this idea can work you can cut back to printing only those letters that seem timely or relevant.

In general everything seems OK to me. You perhaps should allow a little lee way, either wat, for that gut reaction thing. Don't take it to extremes, but if something seems off about a letter it probably would be a good idea not to publish it. I'm not talking personal opions here, just that hmmmm moment.

You have managed to discourage me from sending in a letter I've been thinking about writing. Don't worry about it, it was just a silly thought I had.

So much for Hannaford contention the problem belonged to the credit card companies and banks.The how of that is going to make a lot of retailers nervous.

Re: Mount Washington in winter + boiling water = great video

Just out of curiosity, what's the temperature of boiling water at the summit of Mt. Washington?
I seem to remember from a long ago science class that water boils at different temperatures at different heights above sea level.

PS: I asked this on Cow Hampshire and the nice lady there said you'd know.

On the bother hand, I personally would rather insult spell checkers. :)
