I know of one real letter although it may be the exception that proves the rule. In 1990, I was reading the advice column (Dear Abby or Ann Landers) in the WaPo, and realized halfway through that the letter writer was my brother. He confirmed this when I called. Turned out my mom had sent him an advice column advising filial respect and he wrote Ann/Abby with his situation. She responded that my mom should butt out of his business so it was very satisfactory. I miss my mom but she could be batshit crazy. (Also I was not the only person who recognized the author. When my mom was batshit, she was unabashedly and publicly batshit)
