Dear Abby - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was wondering has anyone on these boards ever written
a letter to the Dear Abby column in your local newspaper,
Do you take the advice literally,or just crack up at the replies.

I've never written to them, but I do read them quite often.

He deserved that one! Probably didn't even see it coming.

I love reading that column. Sometimes the replies are funny. And, so are the letters.

I read Dear Abby and Ann Landers faithfully everyday on the web. Some of the stories are heartbreaking and there are occasional uplifting tales too.

I read Dear Abby religiously every day. I love reading the letters. The only thing I don't like is that nobody but the person receiving the advice knows what happens next after acting on the advice. But then, it's none of our business to begin with.
