Been listening to you guys for a couple of weeks now. Definitely adds the right level of geek to my work week. Does this make me fan number 4?
Thanks, glad you enjoy it.
Not sure what number that makes you, I don’t know who fans 2 & 3 are, and we haven’t heard from #1 for quite some time, so you could very well be in the running for #1.
Of course, that is kind of like being the #1 fan of Battlefield Earth, not something you probably want to brag about.
Whoa! We have someone else listening to us! And they like us! And it’s a lady!
We Rock!
Thanks for listening Heather!
