Why this must be read:

It's an epistolatory story (told all in people's letters to each other) like "Daddylonglegs" (except with spaceships) or "Clarissa" (except it doesn't suck and you don't want to bash the main character's head in). Short version: one of Gaeta's duties is to try and stop Baltar's pirate broadcasts, and Gaeta doesn't want to talk to Baltar, so he writes instead. And then Baltar stalks him by letter, and has his groupies stalk him in person, probably because he realises if he went himself, Lt. Butterfingers would find another pen. So Gaeta now has a new thing to write an annoyed letter about. And it's really, REALLY damn funny. Spoilers through "The Road Less Travelled".
