I think I'll send him a letter even though I am nowhere near local to him. Seems like the more people who respond, the better.
I'm always looking for a reason (doesn't even have to be a good one, but this one is) to write a letter, so why not?
The only incentive to respond IS the opportunity to write a letter, and to do it on a typewriter, to boot. Otherwise, I'd just direct 'em to that l-o-n-g list of typosphere denizens on this and other sites.
It just stuck me that we are keeping the post office in business, sending hard-copy mail and occasionally whole typewriters to each other. At least we're getting something in return for OUR tax dollars.
Technically, the USPS is not taxpayer funded, though I whole-heartedly agree with helping to keep them in business via snail mail.
I wrote up a note last night after finding this, despite being on the opposite coast. That was incentive enough. And it's my usual they're-in-offices-still-but-hey-have-you-heard-of-the-Typosphere-perhaps-you-should-Google-it screed.
I've left a comment plus sent an email, pointing out a few facts of life. One point I made is that people should really try to lift their hoirzons when talking about typewriter use. Please don't take offence at this, since none is intended, but the world really doesn't begin in California and end at New York Island. It stretches beyond the redwood forest and the Golf Stream waters. There are other parts of it. Other bits were typewriter use is still widespread.
I meant Gulf Stream, sorry. Getting a bit worked up here ...
Of course not Bob! I was just making the point that California is about as far removed from North Carolina as one can get in the continental U.S., and I still chimed in with a letter. No offense taken.
