This is not a good idea. There are 2 offenders and both would enjoy
receiving personal letters - the main purpose of the second letter was
written largely for distribution.
Nor is it a matter of those who feel "as strongly as I do" as if it's an
option - those who enjoy skiing - or a symptom of something. It's to do with
intellectual honesty. If we value that I do not see how we can avoid trying
to do something. Are we going to sit around on our hands while our fellows
are maligned by a chancer? (Worrying how what we do will appear to others or
be misrepresented is a guarantee of failure.)
