Editors note: While our policy dictates that we do not publish anonymous letters, in some cases, we allow letter writers to withhold their names. In the case of defamatory or libelous situations, we may choose not to run a letter at all. The following was submitted without a name, however, the publisher of "The Malibu Times" found it amusing, and therefore asked that it be published.

Well, your puzzle editor has done it again. The “Answer to Previous Puzzle” accompanying this week’s puzzle is not the answer to your last week’s puzzle. Probably the answer is to yesterday’s New York Times crossword. Every few weeks or months we can count on the wrong answer grid from The Malibu Times, unfortunately. To those of us who enjoy our weekly battle with Will Shortz and guest puzzle creator, not having the answer to an elusive definition or allusion is disappointing. You never acknowledge the fact you provided the wrong answer and publish the proper one the following week. Either no one in your establishment realizes the error, or you are unwilling to publicize the oversight — which really is not suggested by the fact that you resolutely publish letters which may be critical of you and your organization.

Let me take this opportunity to tell you that your accepting your own Dolphin Award awhile back was a bit tacky — possibly a thumbs up in New York, but definitely not so on the Rindge range.

The community suffers from your lack of impartiality on political issues. You’ll never get a Pulitzer for slanted reporting. Stating your opinions on the editorial page is accepted. Biased reporting would rate only a sneer from Joseph Pulitzer, even though he became an attorney. “Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy.”
