We Get "Letters"

For once, a solicitation in our inbox comes from someone/a robotic entity who may have some idea of what goes on here.
Hi:
As someone who would appreciate this, I thought this article may be something your readers enjoy.
Odd syntax there, but Pets Lady is right. There are those who will enjoy. Samples:
S.G. Komen katydid. Very timely.

Cute Bug 3) Spinybacked Orbweaver Spider

Three spiders out of ten bugs. Beetles, it seems, are cuter.

    Good to see you agree with our lord about something.

    P.S. CAPTCHA = bolder. What, they ran out of nonsensical words?

    Insect & Worm Editor:
    Knowing there is a disproportionate number of beetle species, we figured it would skew the cuteness ranking, but why bother people w/ facts & knowledge?

    Yep, they did.

    Hi:

    That is the first time I have been called "robotic"! I really did think the article perfect for your readers.

    Thanks so much for posting a link to our article and for taking the time to read it.

    Much appreciated,

    Soft-Touch Editor:

    Oh, we didn't mean you sounded robotic, just that "Kat Zand" could be a spambot, or a corporate entity like Betty Crocker. One never knows on the Internet.

    Hope you got some hits, & remember us when you're raking in the $$$.

    @MB: The thing that saved it from being completely weird (or, perhaps in some way, spoiled the effect), was the little snicker that leaked out at around 0:45.

    I was reminded by its style, upon re-listening (to get the timestamp, because I am obsessive), of an oddly compelling song (?) that I came across on one of those great Internet radio stations. Which, I just realized when looking for it that it is in some sense a cover -- although the kids call 'em mashups these days, don't they -- so now I can say I've learned two things about Wittgenstein!
