Sly,
I did not know that the thread would turn out that way; it's the consequences of all the social networking thing, nowadays; but, I however stay in my position, even though I'm not a woman; showing your friend's present to the whole world before her is clumsy, getting help to choose but not showing anyone is not; but this is not the sense I get from this thread.
A great writer once said this to me, I was bugging him to help me write a poem for my girlfriend; he said, the problem with writing is that people don't go enough into themselves to say what they really want to say; because they are afraid to tell truth, they fall into the common, they write the common, the speak the common, but once somebody says what he really has inside without any censuring, this one is called a great writer; all great writers don't even consider themselves great writers.
Sly, if you have learn something here, apply this to writing something new, something that comes from within yourself; nobody can ever know what's lies inside.
Please don't collect everybody's input into a new letter, write your OWN letter; don't pretend we know her better than you do.
Have a great christmas.
