You are user 228, that's first wave. Around the time Factotum came out we got a lot of new users. I guess that's the second wave. But they continue to come in pretty steadily now, so it's no longer waves, just tides.
I could be a poet with these compelling similes.
Here are more pearls of wisdom from the mailbag:

hello,
recently while listening to a audio cd of charles bukowski reading his poetry I was stunned at how much rhythm there was in the poems(I was strumming my guitar by chance whilst listening).
I immediatelly recorded the idea in my own 16 track studio,I have completed a further four poems since.
You have to hear them,they are absolutely beautiful,its as if he had read his poems to a metronome! If you want to hear these recordings I will gladly send you a cd of all five poems.
I am a experienced musician and in my humble opinion these ecordings are so cool they could be used for either short films or even an audio cd to bring bukowski's work to an even greater audience in the music world.
It would be great if linda lee bukowski could hear them and I would be gracious enough to respect her opinions on the recordings,
hope to hear from you,
Jeff Bell

Yesterday my friends and I were hanging around the poetry section at barnes and noble, and i think it was fate the second I randomly pulled one of your poetry books out. "You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense." After reading some of it and some from your website, I am going back today to buy the book. I reallyyy enjoy your poetry. :)
