To our readers:

About a week ago, we invited letter writers to weigh in on a familiar topic -- the letters themselves. Specifically, we asked what people like or dislike about the Star Tribune's Readers Write packages, and about how they would compile a robust letters-to-the-editor column while navigating the challenges of distinguishing fact from opinion. Check out today's Readers Write to see what people said.
