Even though — once again — I’m *not* in the iTunes directory, I’m getting amazing email from firemen in the Carolinas, listeners in Mauritius, parole officers in Virginia, sassy women in Quebec, couples in Germany, and soldiers in Iraq. Now I understand why my stats are all screwed up — I think iTunes has been fucking with my entry for several days now. Good thing I don’t rely on it for income. iTunes, if you were my boyfriend, you’d *so* have my stiletto print on your ass (and not in a fun way). I’ll bet Ebert and Roper don’t have this problem. No matter; read an email that makes it all worthwhile:
“Ms. Violet,
Greetings from Iraq from a new yet very excited fan. I’m writing to you today because I want to personally thank you for everything you do. I stumbled upon your website by accident and I was immediately drawn in. First of all I work in an army [.. redacted ..] Being in such a sexually defunct country where any kind of porn is against the law then on top of it to have our own government tell us that we are also not allowed to have any kind of sexually explicit material really kills the morale of all of us serving over here. That’s where you come in, thankfully I found your site and have been able to download your podcasts. I love your blog, all of your articles and I especially love your podcasts. You have saved me from a very dreary and monotonous year here in Iraq. I am truly in your debt for everything you have done. I check every chance I get for an update on your podcasts. You are such a breath of fresh air, I am truly impressed with everything you do and speak about. Once again thank you very much.
A very satisfied fan”
