Said friend retrieved in a few years back from an on-line bulletin board. For inclusion here I reformatted it and replaced the names. I did not change a single letter of the text.

* Official Correspondence, letter column ("Editor’s Note: I want this column to serve as a ‘conduit’ for information— anything you’d like to share with your fellow X-o-philes. Not all of us have access to the on-line BBSs, so I present this as a‘comm line’ for that low-tech (but just as effective) form of data transmission known as The Letter. With a full season under our belts now, there should be a few of you out there with opinions, explanations, and inklings about the show. What’s your favorite episode? Least favorite? Why? How have the characters and the relationship evolved over the course of the season? Exactly how many coats does Mulder have (I’ve counted four)? Whatever you’ve got to say, put it on paper and send it in. Quick guidelines for LoCs...I'll edit them for misspellings and format only; we want to hear your voice. If you handwrite your letter please do so legibly. I won’t print letters sent anonymously. I’LL PRINT FULL NAMES AND ADDRESSES WITH EACH LETTER UNLESS DIRECTED OTHERWISE BY YOU. So write us! And don’t forget, the contributors and I would appreciate feedback on the zine as well.") (50)
