letterS to AND  from the editor:

     hi de ho! I've received several letters, e-mails, hints, evil eyes, middle finger gestures and rocks thrown my way stating I better get my ass in gear and produce more stuff than I have lately. does this possibly mean SOME body out there likes my shit or what?
