To Whom It May Concern:
That sounds so lame!
I like "Sir" because it seems more respectful and formal than TWIMC even though the receipient is of unknown gender. Unless one is Gloria Steinem, I highly think women will see it as an attempt at respect.
as for WSTV, if it's still in the arc somewhere, I"ll should find it in the next 3-4 weeks. I"m getting ready to do my bimonthly scouring of the satellite arc to check any signal out that is more than 1-2 mhz wide.
Well, to be honest, waaay back when I was in school we were taught to use "Dear Sir" or if it wasn't to an individual to use "Dear Sirs".
We were taught only to use "Dear Madame" IF and ONLY if we knew for 100% certain that the letter was to a lady. And of course the plural was allowed if it were to a group of ladies.
Maybe times have changed since then, I don't know. I just go with what I was taught was the polite way to address a letter. Maybe I'm out of step with the times.
Oh, and by the way, I am a feminist. Not that anyone would notice.
LOL!
But I'm not a mean hateful feminist like the old school types. I'm a bit more mellow than they were, I just am pro-female and wish we had more rights and power and respect in the world.
Anyway, like I said, I just tried to compose a simple letter to unknown persons, assuming it would be to men, in the way I was taught, long ago.
Maybe I should take a class on "Welcome to the 21st century 101"
Oh, and still no reply from them. And no satellite either. I can only assume they have ended their satellite business just like all the others. I guess I'll start searching for another satellite to point that dish to. And recommendations?
I was thinking about moving it to the galaxy 97 one since someone said they are running I Love Lucy and old movies there. That would be so much better than watching "No Satellite Signal" scrolling across the screen..
Thanks guys!
