The other day, Globe Sports Editor Joe Sullivan penned an "editor's note" in which he invited readers to send their opinions and questions - to a post-office box. David says: How quaint:

... Papers around the country are beginning to experiment with all sorts of interactive platforms to allow users "into the newsroom" so to speak. At NECN (a Globe partner, by the by) they're requesting user-created content. Ditto at NESN (another partner). Bloggers are evolving at various levels and the web is driving all sorts of change and excitement. It's truly a time to push the envelope at every turn. And poor, antiquated Joe Sullivan driven by even more antiquated superiors, are asking for readers to write in with "questions" and "opinions" and send their thoughts to a Post Office Box, with ZERO mention of an email address for same. No email for Sully – un-unh. . .just a passing fad, why jump in with both feet? We'll get letters written by old timers with quill pens instead! ...

My standard newspaper disclosure.
