You apparently diid not search very thoroughly. Mr. Kingston said a
lot more than just those two coments.
Normally, publications such as newspapers and magazines do not publish
anonymous letters or letters under fake names.
However, Chess Life broke that rule last year when it published a
letter by "The Masked Bishop".
I have often had letters I have written published in newspapers.
Playboy Magazine published a letter I wrote a few months ago.
However, each time one of my letters is published, an editor calls me
on the phone to confirm that I really wrote it and that I am giving
permission for it to be published.
By that criterea, the letter Edward Winter wrote attacking me should
not have been published in Chess Life, because Chess Life could not
possibly have called Edward Winter on the phone to confirm that he
wrote it, because no contact number for Edward Winter exists.
