Reader Dinesh Avanti is right about writing letters to newspapers. It's the quality, not quantity, that counts, preferably with one or two points expressed as briefly as possible.
Also, the shorter a letter, the more likely it is to catch the attention of thousands of readers, some of whom may be motivated to respond. A long letter will probably be read by just one person, the man or woman who wrote it.
