Hi Pickle,
Way to go!  I loved the letter.  (I just hope this all does some
good!)

Ummm... I do have one suggestion.  You might also want to mail a
copy to Susan Lee or John Miller.  SSH reports that she doesn't think
the DOOL production people (that's their fax number) forward the
letters to Susan Lee.

And I promise a partial list of advertisers asap (courtesy of the
Big B.)
