The strange and wacky world of the Internet means that the lines of communication have grown shorter, the distance between us less intimidating.  Sometimes the stuff you write even finds its way before the eyes of its subject – and they’re good enough to respond in kind.  Some of the amazing responses I’ve received:

“Every now and then someone gets it right.  Thank you, Graham.”  – Justin Trudeau, in response to Justin Trudeau vs. the Concern Trolls

“Wow.  Thank you.”  – Rob Lowe, via Twitter, in response to God Save Sam Seaborn

“Thank you for the lovely review!” – Emilie-Claire Barlow, in response to Painting with Notes:  Emilie-Claire Barlow live

“Thanks so much for giving me such a wonderful write-up!  I’m so glad you got what I was trying to convey and I hope it has changed your own approach to writing.  This inspires me!” – Writer-director Alan Denman, in response to Finding the why

“Thank you for capturing the essence of my presentation so well. I really appreciate that you took the time to share this and how well you wrote it.” – Sgt. Tim Burrows, in response to The importance of being human:  Social Mix 2012
