Helena's Love Letter to Grady

People said it couldn't happen. They thought it was just a joke, but in December 1996 Helena Kobrin actually did send a "love" letter to a dedicated enemy of Scientology.

Grady Ward is believed by Religious Technology Centre to be the publisher of the now legendary e-zine SCAMIZDAT, which during 1995 regularly published complete versions of many of Scientology's secret documents. They were so convinced of this that they took out a lawsuit against Grady, setting several of their lawyers (including Helena) on the case.

During deposition, Grady revealed that his frequent hints that he was behind Scamizdat were a troll, designed to waste Scientology's resources on a pointless lawsuit. In this he succeeded: RTC has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the case and has, at the time of writing, produced no substantial evidence that Grady had anything to do with Scamizdat. Surely this is one of the greatest Usenet trolls of all time.

(Helena's Address) A notification sent by Helena to Grady was sent with the above Love Stamp. Here's the sender address, which I've scanned from the same envelope. Was Helena sending a secret message? Many netizens admire Grady's balls- maybe Helena has feelings in that direction as well.
