Your Letters - Special Edition
Monitor note: Just the one letter today. But what a letter...
In honour of the Olympics, I thought it would be nice to have our very own Magazine Monitor Games. I have completed an arduous and often soul-destroying adventure through the Monitor archive and can inform you that the following people are our first medal winners (apologies for any inaccuracies, as it took a long time and I'm woefully human):
Most Published Letters:
GOLD:
Adam, London, UK - 72
SILVER:
Basil Long, Leicester (Newark), Notts - 43
BRONZES:
Robin, Edinburgh (Glasgow) - 29
Ed, Clacton, UK - 29

There are of course many other events, but should this get published (and that would put me on one - only 71 to go) I would like to see what the rest of you can come up with.
