As stated by Ms. Sailing: "Horror, cyber-tech, science fiction, dark fantasy, surrealism, anything pleasantly insane. Please avoid sending straight-forward genre material, I only list these as an example of the general vicinities that might interest me. I have no problem with printing controversial material, in fact I hear it. My main prerogative is that the submission should be intelligent and capable of making people think."[http://www.philsp.com/data/data092.html Magazine Data File]

CPAOD was the sponsor of the Death Equinox conventions held in Denver in the late 1990s, also known as

Cyber-Psycho Convergences".[http://old.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id184/pg1/index.html Disinformation on Death Equinox '99] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101207042012/http://old.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id184/pg1/index.html |date=2010-12-07 }}Dumas, Alan: STRANGE BREW \ OFFBEAT CONVENTION OFFERS A WORLD OF WEIRDNESS FOR THOSE ON THE FRINGE, Rocky Mountain News, October 2, 1997, Weekend Spotlight Section
