No John!  You write in BLACK ink but you have to emphasize key
points with RED ink and lots of CAPITALS.  Unfortunately RED INK is
NOT available on usenet but it IS on paper.  Since YOUR ideas are so
IMPORTANT and your writing so CLEAR I would expect that 40-50%
(print percentages in red) of your letter would be RED or CAPITALS.
