P.S. I moved your comment to the page announcing the project. So if it looks unapproved, it's not--I just copied it and pasted it to what I thought was a better home. :)
Hi James. Thanks for writing with your thoughts about my project. I know you are a pacifist, and that's part of the reason I asked you to participate. It has always interested me that, as a pacifist, you provide a voice for prisoners, many of whom have performed violent acts. So, in what appears to be a respect for all comers as human beings, I thought you were a natural fit to contribute to the leisure time of military members and injured veterans. On that note, I agree with your complaint about the vague promises of "support" to troops. That's why I offer something specific: A contribution to more satisfying leisure time, which is important for overall well-being. As a bonus, that contribution is also intellectual and, often, shares a perspective that might not often be heard in the military. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I would welcome your contribution of any size. I'm sure it would be received with interest, and maybe get you some more letters for your postal fix!
James . . . Fisphspit here . . . I have the first issue of the great steroptiocon and rambles of the libertarian connection Issues 323 to 329. I look forward to getting more from you. Please write if you no longer have my address or need any other info.
james dawson, you put out stuff I like . . . keep me on your mail list. I loved the stuff you sent me . . . if you need a donation don't hesitate to ask. it's fishspit at 1304 175th Pl. NE, Bellevue, WA, 98008.
I thought you might find this interesting. This is a perzine I did about a demonic experience I had that led me to Christianity. True story. I used to be on the borderlines of agnostic and atheist, and I was raised Buddhist, but this experience led me to God. I know now that Jesus Christ is real, and He certainly answers our prayers. Demons are also real, and deliverance ministries (all over the world) work to exorcise them out of people who have them through the occult and other sins.
Hey, I just want to let you know I got your envelope today! Rad! I'm sitting down to read them right now. My stuff for you is enveloped up and I'll mail it on Monday! Have a great weekend.
Hey James--any new stuff lately? I want to read your thoughts! Always insightful and a lot of times on unexpected topics. Gimme a fix! I'll send you Shards #7 and #8 (my humor zine) in return. I think you'll especially like #7. People keep telling me it's "smart," which I think means they thought it was too wordy (it is), but I think you would like it.

Hi James. I was happy to receive your packet the other day. I read everything, not just the highlighted passages (although I thank you for your consideration in that). As someone who drinks up little bits of knowledge and ideas, I found your thoughts to be educational and thought-provoking. I mean, I had never considered that vegans--with some moral high ground positions--are not faultless with regard to environmental destruction. As far as the highlighted passages go, your piece on neologism development and its relation to your social class was particularly striking. There's no way you could have known when you directed my attention to that piece, but I also come from lower middle class beginnings. I managed to earn a Ph.D. despite what you might predict, partly because school was regarded somewhat reverentially in my family (and lower middle class work ethic a big contributor). These factors make for a fluid cultural identity that I can't exactly say is a plus, though it's nice not to be summarily passed off as either a rube or an elite. Nice to find another person with similar experiences. You have both a tacit and empirical experience of the workings of social class in America, and I think your matter-of-fact voice is important.
Hi, in answer to your query about mimeograph lore, you might want to check out my Facebook page called Mimeograph Users Group. Bunch of pictures, sometimes people comment.
James, I'm enjoying Zapomania #4 right now. You're very keen and insightful; you're able to razor in on people's characteristics, like when you break down types of "internetters." You make great observations, and you probably see right through everyone. :) I also liked your observation about "Rude Boy" in Pterodactyl #6. I hadn't noticed that before, but now totally see what you mean. Good stuff!
Hi, James, just wanted to say I enjoyed "Cat's Paws" from LIVE AND LET LIVE. Although it probably wasn't ideal to read late at night! I was wondering if you know of any good zines &/or website for vegetarian/vegan diets? I was one for 5 years a long time ago, in a very bad way, though. I'd like to do it properly this time, with a balanced diet. Thanks for any help!

I know I'm taking a while, but its because i'm doing a comic zine that I want to send out. I'm almost done, expect the zines in 1-2 weeks.

It's a very short zine, I hope it qualifies as one. You can read the PDF form here: The%20Incubus%20a%20testimony.pdf
