Dear psychospy,
               I just wanted to send you a note of encouragement for your
unending quest for the truth about UFOs. I myself am not convinved that
there are aliens or saucers or conspiracies involving the satellite
government, but I read every issue of the Desert Rat Newsletter, and am
growing to like it more and more each issue. Originally I started reading
about the UFO phenomenon because of my father, who is fascinated by the
whole scene, and does believe the various talk shows he watches, and is
convinced the government is involved in nefarious conspiracies. We've spent
many an evening arguing about this stuff, and because I've become so
involved with the many facets of the net, I stumbled across your
publication.
        I like the sarcasm, and the spirited attention to detail you
provide, and your reports of other's efforts at capitalizing on this
phenomenon. I was surprised, therefore, when you seemed to be alluding to
giving up the ghost in issue #27. You must not do this. Sanity must
prevail, and you have to hang in there doing what you are doing, because if
this stuff turns out to be as true as it might, it will be important to
have knowledgeable, sane, and level-headed people like yourself and Mr.
Campbell.
        Martin Luther King would have liked to have quit a few years into
the civil rights thing, after the FBI had begun wiretapping his phone calls
and bugging his hotel rooms. He simply couldn't; he was carried by a wave
mixed with destiny and courage. There was too much at stake for him to give
up.
        Of course, it's easy for me to say this, sitting up here in my
apartment in Montreal. You're in Vegas and the desert, probably being
watched most of the time. But you must keep writing and observing; there
are sane people out here who are paying attention to the work you are
doing, and are learning from it.
        I'm sorry this is such a long note, but I was moved by your last
newsletter into writing some kind of letter of support. Good luck,
                                                                  AW
