Geri,
Just after hitting the Send button, I realized an error in my message below. When I saw this morning's letter to the editor, I thought it was in response to Dennis Bolyard's May 26 letter. Then, after sending my message below, I noticed that today's letter was responding to a June 6 letter from Jeff Ballard (Bolyard, Ballard:( . I did not see Jeff Ballard's June 6 letter. Could you please send me a link to it? (I am a 30+ year subscriber. I do not have an electronic version subscription.)
Now I'm wondering if perhaps you published my May 27 letter?
Sorry for my confusion!

Subject: Anti-bicycling policy?
Geri,
Did you receive the May 27 message below and its attachment? The attachment is a response to Dennnis Bolyard's May 26 letter to the editor. I do not know your policy for deciding which letters to publish and which letters not to publish. Since my response wasn't published, I assumed you didn't want to publish it. Today, Sunday June 27, I see a letter to the editor (Sharing the road starts with paying your share by Mary Smith) that supports Mr. Bolyard's position so I wonder: did you even receive my May 27 letter? If so, why are you publishing anti-bicycling letters and stifling pro-bicycling letters? Both Mr. Bolyard's and Ms. Smith's letters suggest taking away from cyclists rights that law explicitly gives them. Worse, they may tend to increase the already alarming hostility that many cyclists endure.
