Letters: The Brooklyn Paper received more e-mails and comments regarding its front page story on 6-year-old “graffiti” vandal Natalie Shea than on any story in its 30-year history (“New face of vandalism,” Oct. 13).

Here’s a sampling from our mailbag.

Letters: I write to thank you for awarding me “Bladder of the Year” (“Here’s to the winners,” Year in review, Dec. 30).
