GOOD NEWS, FOR ONCE
The website received its 300th email on May 4. This took 4½ years. Happier news is that the last 150 emails all arrived during 2010 (and there's more than seven months to go). Harder work for me, but welcome to the digital age Belmont. Website editor

On a more serious note the editor (who alone pays for this site) reserves the
right to edit or refuse to publish emails which he regards as offensive.

Emails to the website require the editor's intervention, they do not post automatically. Since the editor may be away, ill or just plain tired, delays in posting can occur
