Peter, 
I realize how frustrating such incompetence of many magazines can be, but if
I were the editor of Personal Workstation, and I got such an irate, ranting
letter as the one you sent, I would simply toss it into the trash and ignore
it. You need to calm down and cool off before writing such letters. Being
indignant and flaming the editors doesn't get them to change their minds,
you have to be civil and polite and point out their mistakes in a way they
can swallow them without choking.
