This service will be suspended from Friday December 24 until Monday January 17, when we hope to appear in a new format. Thank you for your support. Regards IOL Letters Editor Have your say about anything from politics to love to rugby to science by sending your letter for publication on the IOL Letters page. SOME GROUND RULES Please limit your contribution to 400 words. Please do not send it as an attachment. Due to the danger of virus-infected attachments, our policy is not to open any attachments. Due to the proliferation of spam, we will delete any letters that do not have a subject line. Letters may be edited and shortened at the editor's discretion, or may not be published at all. If you wish to remain anonymous, please tell us. If you want your name used but don't want your email address published, please tell us. If you do not indicate either of these wishes, we will publish your letter with your name and email address. But in all cases, for our own records we require your full name and your own email address - we will not publish letters sent on your behalf by someone else. Finally, in terms of the user agreement, Independent Online, its subsidiaries, employees, contractors and officers and its editor take no responsibility for editing or reviewing the accuracy or appropriateness of any content within the letters service, including any correspondence that might arise between users who have published their email addresses on any submissions to the website. Correspondents publish their email addresses at their own risk and must clearly indicate when they wish to remain anonymous.
