'WHY WOULD YOU SHARE YOUR BROWSER HISTORY?IT'S THE DIGITAL EQUIVALENT OF LETTING PEOPLE ROOT THROUGH YOUR GARBAGE. POINTLESS!'

Many of the responses to Brian Raftery's story on America's Funniest Home Videos ("Painfully Funny," issue 19.05) mirrored reactions in our own office when Raftery's editor, Robert Gapps, pitched the idea: People still snail-mail their video footage to the show's producers? Seriously? Hardly our story, we scoffed. But Capps and Raf-tery persisted, to the eventual delight of reader Nina Shokrian of Houston. "I grew up watching AFVand had some trouble convincing my husband to watch it," she wrote. "He finally broke down when he realized it kept the attention of our then 2-year-old, who couldn't get enough of stupid cats, laughing babies, and, most of all, people falling on their faces. Thank you for giving this 'uncool' show some well deserved credibility. It will never get old in our house. And now my husband can watch it with a little more pride." Us, too.
