A bulging mailbag

I know, I know . . . what's with all the letters being posted on the blog? I know I've probably mentioned it on here before but I will explain it all again for those who have turned up late. 

Previously, I would always place all the letters to the Standard from one month into just the one post. Sometimes — especially in the 1930s and the 1970s — this could mean that as many as six or seven letters would be crammed into one post. I soon realised that this was unfortunate because it sometimes meant that a lot of good material was being buried away. Recently I've sought to rectify this matter by adopting the practice of 'one letter, one post' but it has also meant that I have had to go back into the blog archives and split up those posts that have more than one letter. It can be a bit laborious at times, but the positive is that it means that some of these letters can have a second or third life. And, at the end of the day, that is what the blog has always been about: ensuring that the archives of the Socialist Standard are not lost, and that they will be read and appreciated by future generations.

Here endeth the spiel.
