Young Kathleen Resch contacted the people who wrote in about the DS piece and that eventually led to the creation of TWODS and Shadowcon.
That would have no doubt been a fun piece of mail to receive. But trust me, some of the mail I'm referring to was not fun. And several of the people who received it compared notes and none of them had ever received mail like it until after having their full addresses printed in the comics. So, unless suddenly receiving it was a amazingly remarkable coincidence for them all, the source for their addresses could be directly traced back to having their names in the Innovation comics. What's most interesting, though, is not everyone who had a letter or letters published received such less than wanted mail. Who knows what it was about the letter writers who did? Or maybe they were just unlucky enough to be targeted at random...
Once DS became more popular on the Internet, why do I suspect that the people behind those letters found it even more advantageous (for them, anyway) to act as the trolls that harassed places like the DS Newsgroup on Usenet?
