No they weren't. FYI and that of any others who may be interested I have

Dear Mr. Greene:
Thank you for sending a letter to the editor of The Tallahassee
Democrat. I want to tell you that it is unlikely that we will print your
letter since we have a surplus of letters from our own local readers.
Our duty is to print their views first. Should we ever have a deficit of
local letters, then I might be able to consider printing out-of-town ones.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Heather Mendelson, Letters Editor
The Tallahassee Democrat

nowhere in the reply does it mention the name of the publication but I'll
leave in what clues there are.)
