More about Mark
Sir: I have given up waiting for someone else to respond to the fatuous letter about Mark Steyn (Letters, 21 February). For acuity, wit and sheer keyboard wizardry, there can be few film critics in his class. What's more, he is invariably right.

The name sounds suspiciously South African, but we should not hold this against him.
