Sir,
... er, the decision to axe Pseudo Names is a typical capitalist money-saving response to the totally reasonable demands of the working class readership who see it as their only voice in this right-wing tool of the establishment.
BESS SPART
(no relation).
(Kevin Murphy)  

Sir,
I was thinking of leaving something in my will to the Pseudo Names column to ensure its continuation after I’m gone. Your constant threats to close it, however, mean that I will now be leaving it to some other worthy cause.
BETTY C. DOGGS-OHME.

(J Jones)  

Sir,
Your shortened column was better.
MINNIE MEL LISZT.

(Robert E. Wilson)  

Sir,
Pseudo Names, along with Malapropisms and Spoonerisms, should be assigned to the garbage can of history.
LYNN BINER.

(Brian Clifford)  

Sir,
Christmas is over. What’s next?
E. STREG.

(J.W. McCormick)  

Sir,
I have at last succeeded in obtaining a copy of your esteemed organ here in Thailand.
TUK SUM GETTING.

(Andrew Young)  

Sir,
The diverse peoples of the former Soviet Union are really appreciating your Pseudo Names feature. Keep it going or the gas gets turned off.
BELLA ROOSE
GEORGIA and MOLL DOVER
U. CRANE
R. MEANYER.

(James Gilbert)  

Sir,
Do you think it is due to state censorship that we haven’t received Private Eye for two months here in Beijing?
Y.R. WEE-WEI TING.

(Richard and Jo Kent)
