I heard some time back that the news media have a rule of thumb - for every person that rings them up about an issue, there are 10 more that want to but don't. For every person that writes a letter, there are a hundred more that want to but don't. So I assume that a message would be somewhere between the two? So there's probably a lot more people out there that appreciate your work.

I sure hope so. Even if I don't know about it, as long as it's encouraging reading and writing in kids, that's all the matters. Getting these messages certainly makes my day though.
