Pointless question

Sir: May I thank and congratulate you on retaining the excellent cartoon series '3 Pointless Things To Do This Week'?

This series brought me and my fiancée much pleasure, and we were greatly sad- dened when it appeared to be discontinued. However, imagine our joy, when reading through The Spectator recently on the Cir- cle Line of the London Underground, we noted its return, and shouted to our fellow passengers: 'it's back!'

Was this a pointless thing to do?
