Online letters worse
The Rocky’s new online version of the letters to the editor page reeks of infantile stupidity.
To have to click on each one, read it, then go back to grab the next one is a complete waste of time and will preclude me being able to enjoy that part of the Rocky.
Too bad — you had a good thing going.

Glad to see I am not the only one who finds this 'disimprovement' annoying. I understand that it allows us to see comments on the letters; however, a smart programmer would have included a "Next letter" button at the end of the page. As someone who has beein in IT since 1979, I know that technological improvements should make things easier, not harder.
Posted by Mary Farris, Centennial on January 27, 2007 03:53 AMMary you are very correct in your comment. Having to click on a 'Next Letter' button would be much easier than clicking on the link to the next letter. So with that said what is the difference if you click a button or the link?
I like the idea of being able to add a comment and could care less if I have to go grab or click a button or link to see the next letter.
New "letters" format stinks. Will someone please tell these kids with their electronic toys to leave things alone!

Posted by Patrick Sperry on January 27, 2007 11:17 AMYo Ted: Lighten up. I love the new format; I get to read the comments. Try this: Access the Denver Post and Rocky at the same time and when you click for another letter in the Rocky you can bring up the Post and read its letter and then bring up the Rocky and so forth.

Posted by Erricka on January 29, 2007 02:40 AMI do like being able to comment . There are so many times I want to say something to a letter writer and now I can.
