S. Moser Exasperates Reader

RECEIVED Thu., Aug. 3, 2006

Dear Mr. Black,
    Though it is often pretty amusing, the July 14 and 28 "After a Fashion" [Arts] made me question the point of the column's existence. The snarky rantings of a disgruntled Pizza Hut and gas-station customer do not interest me and, frankly, cause me to further question the taste of your so-called "Style Avatar." The blow-by-blow account of his "night-in" left me as exasperated as that manager who rightly treated him like a delusional maniac. If this incident disturbed Mr. Moser enough to fill his column with his vitriol, imagine what the Pizza Hut employees must have done to blow off steam after dealing with him. To follow up that waste of space with another half page filled with self-congratulations on his past column and a detailed account of a rude man saving less than a quarter on bottled water was beyond my comprehension. I would be happy to send him as much as 50 cents if he would direct the attention of his column back on "style" and leave the low-paid workers in our community alone.
    Or, perhaps, Margaret could find him employment elsewhere?
