And continuing to read that page, I found this warm fuzzy, the likes of
which this list has seldom seen (thank the Maker!):

          It is apparent from your "Ask Marilyn" column... that being smart
is no guarantee of being correct. Your analysis of the game-show
probabilities... reveals a misunderstanding of the rudiments of probability
theory, and an appalling lack of logic...
<snip>
          ...I urge you to lower your mantle of omniscience and (following
the lead of Ann Landers) seek the advice of experts when the subject matter
is outside your area of expertise. Your ignorant responses are hurting the
fight against mathematical illiteracy.
            Sincerely,
                  David Loper
                  Professor of Mathematics
                  Florida State University.
