To the editor:
Thank you so much to the staff and authors for your April 1 edition. At the end of winter in Vermont we needed the laugh.

Great fun and thanks for getting my quote correct!!!

As a summer resident of Ashenhurst you can imagine how thrilled I am and eagerly awaiting the increased convenience for visiting my many friends on Black’s Point. Progress! And a proper rejoinder to the naysayers who are satisfied with the status quo.

Y’all got me, y’all got me good.

GREAT ISSUE!!!

Boy, was I unhappy about Phlox being planted as wildflowers! Caspian Causeway had me shaking my head! The horrid ladies beating up a tourist was sickening! By the time I reached the Muddy Road Crew, I was worried because I have a friend I can’t visit, because she lives on an impassably muddy hill road….until The light above my head started to shine! You guys are beyond clever & looking back on it, so funny!!!!! Being fooled was really fun!!!!!!

Re: the “Impatient Mass. Man Tased” article in the April 1 edition – It may just be me, but it will be interesting to see if any readers ask if the “fake nail” detail, the name “Shaniqua,” and the quote “Ain’t no one get between me and my cigs” isn’t just plain racist.

In case you wonder if anyone reads your editorials, [I] just wanted to assure you that I do! I got quite a kick out of it [in the April 2 edition], too! Haha. So did Lunette! I also loved the April 1st edition! Thanks so much! 🙂

Note: It seems at least some readers had almost as much fun as we did while writing our silly stories in the April 1 and 2 editions. Their comments have been collected into this one letter.
