DDA Letter Column and Gemstone Comics Advertising

[ZeldasTriforce@aol.com]

I suppose this email is more or less directed to Gary Leach since he would be 
the one most likely to know the answers. 

I was just wondering why DDA doesn't have a letters column of some sort. Is 
it just because the pages are so small that you'd be hard pressed to print more 
than one letter per page? I probably answered my own question, but I'd like 
to know.

I also had another question about the advertising in Gemstone's comics. I'm 
sure I'm not the only one to notice that Gemstone's(or Diamond's though I think 
Gemstone is a division of that company) own advertisiments take up most or 
probably all of the advertising pages in the issues. ("Howdy, folks! Do you know 
about the Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide? If not, buy Gemstone!). 
Does Gemstone/Diamond want it that way or have not many other advertisiers 
wanted to put ads in the issues? I can't imagine it being the latter. I know of 
comics that sell less than Disney comics and have more than a few ads in them.

I know I'm the only person in the world who derives any sort of humor from 
guessing which ads will be in the next issues, but whatever gets one through the 
day I suppose.

Thanks in advance. :)
