This sounds decidedly weird - usually poison pen letters make direct
insults and accusations at various people or an individual from an unknown
entity (I work for a bank and we get a pile every week, which we generally
ignore) - this just looks like someone is a bit annoyed at the fact that
maybe two computer clubs are using the same hall maybe?? Must be one sad
individual.
How old was the Quanta issue? That will tell you if its probably a current
member or not, though he/she/they could have got it anywhere........from a
trader stall, a bring and buy stand or god knows where you might find one.
It could also be quite innocent - a person maybe thought the bramerton club
had been wrongly decribed in the newsletter, not realising the east anglia
club was a different club entirely, and was just bringing it to syd's
attention. Syd was, and maybe still is, a Member of Quanta - I remember
buying an Amiga off him a few years ago, as he was moving into other
things, but it had the QL emulator on it.

Syd Humpries head of the Bramerton Computer club has received an
anonymous letter. We share the Bramerton village hall with them. It
contains only a page ripped out of an issue of Quanta with the East
Anglia QL User group information highlighted in red. Fellow
member Arnold Clarke described it as a poisoned pen letter. He
also point out while they are a member of Quanta they did not care
about there magazines much if they could damage one like that.
The post mark showed only an arc and the year 2003, the area being
completely missing.
