I wonder if Chuck Kratch will be kind enough to account for the fact that his recent letter ("Troubled by president's words, actions," Mailbag, April 11) is an almost verbatim repetition of the article by Ohio Christian Alliance President Chris Long, appearing earlier this month on Christian

Newswire.com, titled, "Mr. Obama Manages to Offend Millions of Christians During Holy Week" (http://www.christiannewswire.com/index.php?modulereleases&taskview&releaseID10004).

Am I the only one to have noticed this?

Apparently so. If we recognize a letter as not original, we don't print it.
