[edit 12/29/07: it was published today.]

I sent a letter to the editors of The Olympian 16 days ago and it has yet to be published. I received a call from Mary at The Olympian to verify that I had indeed written the letter. I was then informed that my letter would be considered for publication.

I usually have a lot of emotion that goes into my letters to the editor, which can make it difficult to compose them clearly. This letter was no exception, and it definitely suffers from a lack of clarity in a couple spots. But, being a daily reader of The Olympian's letters to the editor, I know that clarity is often times not enough reason for a letter to go unpublished.
