'A Click Away' Speaking of fitness [Wellness Issue, January 15], I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your fantastic online issues. Wednesdays in this household are called "Seven Days Day." Due to multiple sclerosis, I can't always pick the paper up that day. When a recent Friday came around and I still hadn't read the latest issue, I looked on your website.
