The Literary Review was founded by Auberon Waugh. I think he qualified as a Young Fogey, and they affect to regard all modern technology as beyond the pale. Ignore the silly remarks and email the thing like everybody else. It's cheaper, after all.
I take it they all eschew mobile phones and write their copy on old typewriters. This sort of affectation gives rhymed verse a bad name. Curiously, The Oldie, which really is targetted at old has-beens like myself, has no truck with this nonsense.
