I have been an Arizona Daily Star subscriber for almost 40 years. In that time I have regularly read the Opinion Page and Letters to the Editor. I have submitted letters and a few Guest Opinions. I make a point of closely reading well written Opinions and Letters expressing views counter to my own. Of late however, we see more and more of the same opinions expressed repeatedly by the same authors, particularly in the Letters section. With no new substantive statements or nuance to their previous submissions. Letters often appear from the same author within a week's time (or occasionally even two letters published on the SAME day!). No matter the political perspective. Frankly, nobody wants to hear from me/you/anybody that often and certainly not if its repetitive with nothing new to add. Take a breath before you hit send. Maybe call a friend. Take a walk. Or just take a break. See you in the Daily Star.
