that letter was also sent to GDT's email; apparently, it didnt go through the box, but when reporter received it, the first email on the very long list of recipients was, indeed, GDT. Other recipients included other local publications, radio stations, and several national ones.
reporter prints the letters to the editor that we recieve in time to print, as long as they arent from fabricated names (to our knowledge). People have written open letters to members of the administration, RIT departments, and etc, airing their concerns about the community and etc., and we publish them. there seemed no reason for reporter to not publish such a letter, airing a concern about GDT, simply because some of reporter's staff used to work there. the email was constructive and concerned, not blasphemous or libelous- it wasnt a published by reporter for any sort of personal or competitive reasons. surely you'll be the first to admit that GDT has published much worse about reporter and not always in a constructive way.
i do hope that your posting of this was in curiousity, however, you could have just as simply asked me, rather than posting a passive-agressive comment on the subject.
