Hilarious (short) letter to the Editor in this week's Economist

It's the last one on the page:

Re: ;) 'ambitious' is a very nice word for it!

"Mormonism makes many other claims that seem ambitious in the modern world."

Oh yes, I had posted that too, a few weeks ago

But few people reacted to it at the time. It's a good article indeed.

That last letter was satire, right?

I don't always get satire but that had to be it.

lol

Yep.

Traditionally, in The Economist, the last letter on the page is a funny one. Or ironic, satirical, tongue in cheek.

Oh good.

People are just strange enough for it to have been serious but I'm glad I read it "right". :)
