great post.
adding a link to it to my biopage
What follows is BetBasoo's response when asked if she had ever responded to his letter:
Carly never responded. But I am sure she reacted to the letter, because -- I cannot prove this but it is extremely coincidental -- HP began an advertising campaign where a cross in the form of a plus sign was used as a symbol. This happened after I published the letter and it spread like wild fire throughout the internet.
You are more than welcome to share this letter with all of your friends.
