Dear Ann Landers, 'll bet you have already received several hun-dred letters from readers like myself who were stunned by your insen-sitivity. I refer to your response to the woman whose husband had been looking for a job for three years. You said her letter was "downright de-pressing" and suggested that her "negative attitude" must have had a lot to do with her bad luck. Get real. I know Ph.D.s who have lost their jobs and are now work-ing for $6 an hour. You are going to hear plenty about your unsympa-thetic response. -Judy S. in Durham, N.C.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
