Reader was 'too quick' to judge The Pit

Dear Mr. Davidian:
 
If you remember some time ago I asked to be removed from your "junk mail list". It seems this was a mistake on my part. After reading more and more of your electronic paper I feel you are unlike others and report based on facts not the buddy system. 
 
Please accept my apology for thinking, "your articles could be slanted to suit your needs for the right price. 
 
Please, put me back on your mail list. We all make mistakes at one time or the other and I was a little quick to judge your paper. 
 
[I]n regard to publishing my letter, please, withhold my name as I do not want to be harassed by anyone for anything especially for admiting that your type of paper is needed. Every community needs people like you who report the facts, and are not influenced by money nor fearful as most of us in regard to harassment by the ones caught with their hand in our pockets.
 
Name withheld at writer's request.
