Editor's note: this is a new column in which we answer at greater length attacks on Yellow Dog, rumors about Yellow Dog, paternity suits against Yellow Dog, and other related matter. Letters should be addressed to Ishmail Alexander, head of the complaint department.

Dear Yellow Dog:
Can you please tell me how to get to the Walmart on Archer road if I'm coming from Lake City? Carol Lombard

What
angers us the most about letters like this is that we don't even know how to get to the Walmart on Archer road. We are not a directional service, readers. Get a map. It's as if we don't have enough time to spend clearing up the mess after Hurricane Floyd, renewing our subscriptions to various porn sites on the Web, and monitoring the media for anti-Yellow Dog attacks.

All of this reminds us of a recent article on Biker's Monthly which pointed out that we were responsible for the recent attack on a Mom Biker's weekend in Daytona Beach.

As if hanging isn't good enough - so some folks say - these bastards should be stripped to their underwear and forced to parade around Daytona like the biker wannabees they really are.

First of all, not all of us wear underwear. Second of all, (besides that fancy font face we just used to isolate the quote) we had nothing to do with what Daytona authorities are now calling "Mother's Day Massacre." Those were not are employees seen in town wearing Yellow Dog t-shirts (or at least aren't our employees anymore), and those weren't our baseball bats. People. Let's get the facts straight.

It's not like we've received enough flack from Mary Hart lately (a recent Entertainment Tonight poll placed Yellow Dog at number three on its "Who should be beaten up and left for the dogs" poll). We simply run an on-line magazine that had difficulty getting work posted on time. Leave us alone.

But we digress. As usual, we are forced to respond to these senseless accusations. Yellow Dog does not condone public nudity or defecation, nor does it condemn it. But this magazine will assume responsibility where responsibility should be claimed. We confessed to throwing spit balls in the House of Representatives. We admit to encouraging a certain party to fly a banner reading "Up Yours" over the recent All Star Game in Boston. Ok. But we did not do this act.
