The letter left a trail of spores from New Jersey through various post offices until it reached Boca Raton. There's a chart on my site showing the trail of spores left by the letter.

Perhaps. But when evaluating data, you eventually have to come to some conclusions. Otherwise, why even attempt to evaluate the data?
The fact that someone comes to some conclusions does NOT mean that person has "closed one's mind". To suggest so is to go down to personal attacks instead of looking at evidence. Whether your believe it or not, it is possible to come to conclusions about existing evidence while still keeping an open mind for new evidence.
The section on my site titled "Three mailings" refers to the threatening letters mailed from Indianapolis" reportedly received by Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. At one time I thought they might be related to the case because O'Reilly and Hannity said the handwriting was "virtually identical". But since then I've received dozens of handwriting samples which people think are "virtually identical", and I see virtually no similarity whatsoever - other than that the writing is printed by hand. As a result, I now think it's only a very remote possiblity that the Indianapolis letters were connected to the case.
While the ABC, CBS and AMI letters were never recovered, the evidence says those anthrax letters were sent to Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and The National Enquirer because of the anthrax cases which resulted. Dan Rather's assistant got anthrax, and so did a 7-month-old child who attended a party at ABC. It would be totally illogical to assume that they were just random "cross-contamination" cases. If the cases were "random", why would random events only hit the offices of the anchors at the two other major networks?
The evidence says that the letter opened by Stephanie Dailey on the 25th of September, 2001, was mailed in New Jersey. The letter left a trail of spores from New Jersey through various post offices until it reached Boca Raton. There's a chart on my site showing the trail of spores left by the letter.
The timing of all the cases says that there were 7 letters, 5 mailed on the 28th of September and 2 mailed on the 9th of October.
You can speculate about possible other scenarios, and you can twist facts to support other scenarios, but this is what the evidence says.
I'm always open to discussion of new evidence. But old theories about some unidentified member of al Qaeda somehow mailing the letters is just theory. There is no evidence to support that. The evidence says just the opposite: al Qaeda was not involved.
