		<description>I can only echo the opinions of those who have gone before me. Your efforts in keeping people appraised of breaking information in the Whisk(e)y world are very much appreciated by me and others, all the more so because it clearly takes you away from income raising.</description>

		<description>John,
I have the pleasure of not only being a whisky fan but also to sell whisky for a living at the retail level. I have learned more information about new releases and current products from your blog then any of the people selling the spirits to my store. You keep me informed and help keep me a few steps ahead of my customers with getting new and exciting products for them. This blog also allows me to inform them when a spirit is about to dry up and lets us stock up on it while we can. The speed at which you learn of upcoming releases has also helped me snag a few items that would have easily dried up before I could have brought them into the store. 
So thank you very much for all the information you provide and for taking the time out of your life to keep us informed.</description>

		<description>Hello John,
I check your blog everyday and look forward to reading your insights and tasting notes. As you have said it is a bridge between the issues of malt advocate. 
You are doing a great job and there are a lot of us who appreciate what you are doing.

		<description>John,
I have only recently found the blog and started following it.  It is really great.  I am a MA subscriber as well as a subscriber to your weekly newsletter.  I get a lot out of all three things and have really been enjoying the blog.  
Remember to keep a big picture view of things.. while the blog doesn&#039;t DIRECTLY bring income in for you, it does bring more in for the magazine, your newsletter, the website, Whiskyfest, and also builds up your reputation.
Keep up the great work, it&#039;s greatly appreciated.</description>

		<description>Micah, yes one of the strageties of the blog is to drive more people to our website, where hopefully you&#039;ll get a subscription or buy something. 

I really do enjoy sharing information with everyone.  That&#039;s what matters most. --John</description>

		<description>John,
I love the blog and have to say that since becoming a daily reader last fall I have also become a subscriber to the Malt Advocate, so it is a money maker for you! Keep up the teasers (full review in the next issue of MA) and you will probably convert more readers.

		<description>John,

I&#039;m a regular reader of the blog and am very glad you do it.  I think it does good things for the overall Malt Advocate brand.  I know that I link people to it regularly.  In this way, you are reaching people that you may not have otherwise.  Please keep it going.

		<description>Dear John, the blog and the magazine each have their place.  The magazine is a more polished document, while the blog is fresh and vital (and sometimes more contentious).  And the magazine has other contributors. Please keep up the good work.
