So, I get e-mails.

Quite a few e-mails, actually.

Some proclaim I can enlarge my (non-existent) male genitalia, others promise low price Xanax from Canada shipped right to my door.

Same old, same old, right?

I get other e-mails too, though. Some of these e-mails, actually, really make me happy. Happy enough I don’t need that Xanax, and that’s always good, because let’s face it, who really buys fake drugs on the internet?

Oh, lots of people do?

My bad.

Anyway, I received one particular e-mail a few weeks ago from a 2MA reader named Barry, who proclaimed his undying love for this very website. He even said he’d take a bullet for the boys and me. Okay, I may have exaggerated a wee bit there, but it’s the thought that counts.

Note to self: find a point.

Ah, yes. Barry is actually quite the interesting fan, as he’s not only from Edinburgh, Scotland, he’s also a hockey player who skates for the Edinburgh Eagles. Cool, huh?

I’ve been corresponding with my buddy Barry for a little while now, and I just wanted to make note of our most recent conversation:

Neat, huh?

I’d like to take a little credit in Barry’s super awesome goal he scored, I mean, clearly the 2MA sticker had a lot to do with it.

Kidding, Barry. Please still read this site.

Alas, we love hearing stories from the 2MA readers! Don’t ever shy away from sending us a note about how awesome we are or, well, if you hate us — that’s cool too. I mean, can’t win ‘em all, right?

Heck, even send us your stories or your own commentaries, you never know, maybe they’ll pop up on 2MA sometime!

As 2ma’s only full-blooded Scotsman writer (I think anyways), I think Barry is now the coolest guy ever. My family hails from Glasgow, and every time I’ve been over there I always see ice-hockey games going on in some capacity or another.

I’ve always wondered what the state of hockey really is in the UK, so it’s super cool to hear that we’ve got at least one reader who’s a part of it.

I also think that overall, one of the coolest aspects of this site is the readership, who are all super interesting, knowledgable and generally grateful for what we put out there.

So yeah, I know I’m new on the ship but thanks and keep reading!

Hi Steve,

Sorry, I didn’t realise you’d left a comment on this page. You can contact me directly through my email address. I’ll email Patricia also and get her to pass on my details.

I’d love to hear from you.
