Actually, I was doing so in an attempt to prove that the person who wrote the letter was NOT identical to the lawyer of the same name. meig had posted that the person was a lawyer, and I was attempting to exonerate the lawyer from the stupidity of the letter - I expected to find multiple people with the same name, and failed to do so.

If you read the content of my actual post, I speculate that it is most likely the actual lawyer wrote the letter to the editor as a form of satire.
