An open letter to people who write open letters

Dear People,

Please, open letters are passe. Once upon a time, open letters were meant to expound. Unfortunately since rhetoric is better part of elucidation, and self-gratification is better part of rhetoric, this form ends up as an exercise in boosting perceived self-image.
Only problem, blogs (or if one wishes to be more expansive web 2.0) exists mostly for purpose of stoking one's ego only. Hence open letters add layer of redundancy, not to mention cliche, which is a strict no no, if your aim is narcissism.

Yours etc
