Don't think I'll be lecturing Guido on anything. Especially manners. Not that I don't know what they are...heh

I think that letter saw the light of day in "Games Climbers Play." Or maybe an early issue of Ascent.

It was in The Games Climber Play, but attributed to Vulgarian Digest, 1970.
Edit: Referring to the letter Guido published upthread, not to the other one he's alluded to. Though maybe that one got published somewhere too.

Whoa, Nellie. What's with the redacting? I understand if you're trying to protect Roper, but heck, he was really ranting.
Shirley, it can't be that bad. Ron, you have a responsiblity here to post up. Share your VD with all of us. Really. Show us the VD.

You know, there's a really good pun there.
I won't say it, though.
And you can't make me.
