About twice a week somebody uses the contact form to send me an email. Sometimes people contact me just to tell me I can’t spell, but most people write to say the site doesn’t suck and they appreciate the effort. Toothpaste for dinner comicYesterday a new reader named Matt sent a great email that really made my week. It also made me think. I wish you could experience what I’ve experienced over the last year because it’s been really cool.

Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much from you. I’ve seen comments on other blogs and I’ve seen daytime talk shows. My opinion of people tends to run along the same lines as George Carlin’s. I like some people on an individual basis, but as a group, not so much. However, I’ve been shocked by how smart, well spoken, and overwhelmingly positive you have been. It’s made me feel better about the human race, and improved my outlook in general.

Thanks.
