i can't help being taken in by its gentle tone. the writer is interested in tents as well. i am not sure why he thought i was. i wish i could write to him, excitedly - someone who finally can fulfill my dream of making and selling fancy tents!

but alas, the writer has the wrong person. i hope he will someday find that dream collaborator. hope springs endlessly on the internet.
