In fact, last year, because of this failure, I did not renew my subscription and shared my reason with the paper.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a slightly abridged copy of my letter to Mr. Hatch. Coincidentally, not only has he failed to reply to my request for feedback, he did not have the common courtesy to acknowledge receipt of my email.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Chris Hatch<\/p>\n<p>Frank White, here, of Windsor Ontario.
