But it would certainly be easy enough to do a computer print-out of the same sort of forms. It was the 'professionalism' of it all that seemed to have the power. It wasn't just some crank writing a letter.

Huh. Having lived in both carbon paper/snail mail days and the email age, I've found email to be much more effective. Skillful use of cc's and forwarding of emails leaves an information trail that's hard to erase or lose under that pizza box on the desk.
