I think I would skip the KS homage. Wouldn't work too well IMHO.

Google would not likely work well unless the name is that unique. I've typed my name in several times and it takes a page or two before I even get my own website to come up. And my name is not entirely common.

Yeah, let us know about AICN, Scumb. That would be a huge boost since the readership for his site is a lot less specialized than TF.n. Imagine where that post would take us in terms of numbers.

That was something that Jay had posted a while ago in another thread. That news on Digitalbits.com was gleaned from a post on theforce.net that came from an e-mail request for coverage from TF.n from, I believe, Rebel Scumb on this site. So, while it's new information for the Bits and TF.n, it's old news here. It was included in the letter to give it more weight and greater likelihood of being posted on those sites. It worked.

E-mail it to the Rebel Rumblings section. The advertising one would likely cost money and we don't have the money to do that. So just send a customized copy of the letter with a personal plea from you asking that they post it. It may or may not work, but at least you tried.

You obviously didn't read my whole post... Motti said that Denmark puts additional taxes on stuff purchased from the internet that is imported into his country. Either way, he's fubared.

Yeah, I get the distinct feeling you don't dig the N-Gage.

So, is this strip intended to be somewhat Clerks-esque? How often do you post new strips? Weekly? Or will that change?

Ooohhh. Yes, we will hire the Mangler Bros even though both are currently MIA. It's amazing just how not the same this place is without them.

Digitalbits put up a new post about us today (Oct. 10). I've got the text posted in the "Digitalbits no longer supporting us" thread in off topic.

You are certainly a brave person to admit you like Ewoks and Droids. My hat's off to you.

Welcome aboard.

No please, go ahead and dice it up. The problem with me doing it once is that this letter really should be tailor made to the site you're sending it to. If you have a webmaster's name or another critic's name, fill it in the blank. If you know of their title or if they are the premier something or other (Greg Dean Schmitz of Yahoo Upcoming Movies is the premier distributor of movie rumor information, for example), then change the statement about Ebert being one of the most respected critics around to fit this fact. Change the letter so you're doing a little "sucking up" without making it obvious. Just be respectful of the person you are sending this to and don't make it sound like you are too terribly desperate, but you want their help because you know that if they support you, it will very clearly help the cause.

Maybe I can tailor it to some other reviewers as well. Suggestions?

Thanks for the kudos, Jay. Means a lot. Really. And, while I admit that many of my posts do drip with sarcasm, this comment is not.

Just remember all, if you do use this letter, you will have to tailor it to who you are sending it to. Obviously, remove references to the name Ebert or his position as a film critic, the ref to the Chicago Sun-Times, etc.

Wow, I just reread my letter and I still like it even after all these months. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Okay, maybe not, but you get my point.

Yeah, but if one country doesn't produce their own product and they are forced to import it from outside their borders (likely outside their continent), then there is higher demand than say in the U.S. or Japan. Manufacturers can increase prices if they so desire and resellers within the importing country can jack the prices up to stratospheric levels because they know their customers have no other place from which to purchase these products. Yes, he could have bought off the internet, but motti told us that there are pretty big taxes and stuff levied on him when he orders from websites outside his country. Either way, he's screwed.
