You should start an advice column.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can use these words right about now.

I can use these words right now. And it's not at all about NATS. It's about being asked to be someone else's voice.

oh now you tell me ;)

good words man.

I think you're the right person for the job.

Too bad the job pays lousy and the hours are terrible. On the bright side, it seems like a hell of a lot of fun, and dare I say it, rewarding. :)

I second what B. said. :)

"Just open your mouth...."

This is why you are a great slammaster, PSI president and poet. You know your shit and you use it to encourage others. Thanks a million!
