A note to angry callers

To angry callers:

First off, I appreciate your patronage to our newspaper and I welcome any and all questions, comments and concerns you may have — good, bad or anywhere in between — regarding any of the stories we run.

That said, when you do have a complaint about a story, please tell me what story or stories you are expressing concern about. As a journalist, I'm trained to have a short-term memory because we have to move subject to subject quickly.

It does neither of us no good if I don't know what you're talking about.

I want to help you, but you see the predicament I'm in.

Or if you would like to rant, send us a letter to the editor. You can chew us out or praise us, but don't you want all of the readers to know your concerns?
