Dear ModestyZone,

I can't believe you're praising human beings who breed like jackrabbits. What exactly is so praiseworthy about getting married at 18, popping out your first crotch droppings at 20, and having six kids? It's a disgusting relic of a time long gone (and good riddance to it). I'm sure you're aware that early marriage and excessive numbers of children are linked to poverty, divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse, spousal abuse, etc. But hey, as long as they're fellow travellers on your little reactionary crusade, I guess it's OK.

It's been lovely talking to you, but I have to go throw up now.

Sincerely, Brendan Moran

Dear Fellow 'Crotch-Dropping':

Don't be so hard on yourself! While you don't exactly sound like a paragon of tolerance, I'm sure you're not as bad as all that. "Crotch- dropping" seems rather harsh.

To answer your question, the reason we featured Catherine Fournier was not because she had six children, but rather, because she stuck by them when others were urging her to get rid of them.

All best,

The ModestyZone Team
