At 4:55pm on May 2, 2013, Jennifer Dao said…: 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.

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

At 5:38pm on March 13, 2013, Kari Tervo said…: 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.

At 6:57pm on October 29, 2011, Kari Tervo said…: 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.

At 11:52am on September 7, 2011, Foxy Moron said…: James, may I just mention that you are continuously a great resource for the papernet/zine/mail art community, thank you so much. I admire your work.

At 9:40am on August 24, 2011, Foxy Moron said…: Thank you, I appreciate it. Sorry if I sent too much...I enjoy mail.

At 4:56pm on July 30, 2011, Kari Tervo said…: Hey James, somehow didn't see your comment til now. I would love to see those issues. Thanks for your thoughts on grammar nazis! Thanks, Kari

At 11:17pm on June 29, 2011, Kari Tervo said…: 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!

At 3:54am on June 12, 2011, StrayCat said…: 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!

At 11:14am on April 18, 2011, Matthew Mu said…: I'm not sure exactly what this is referring to. When I look at my page it's white text on black.

At 11:01am on April 16, 2011, Myron said…: I recieved your zine today! It's going to take me a while to read this one but I'm looking forward to it! There's a lot of great information in here! Thanks for the trade!
