Letter: Last word on Jon

Published 12 October 2011

From Carolyn Hunt

Come, now, do you really think prolific Last Word correspondent Jon Richfield of Somerset West, South Africa, is a real person ()? Nobody knows everything about everything, as “Jon” seems to. My guess is that the faculty of a nearby university get together during the tea break to come up with answers to Last Word questions.

The editor writes:

• You’re not the first to succumb to such . We interviewed Jon in 2010 (9 October, p 50) and amazingly, he is real.
