"OK Scott, I've read all of this peice and i really like it. Mr. Davis is a very interesting character, I'd love to know how you concieved the idea for this peice, it is certainly not like anything else i have read [in its theme]. Maybe you should take a little more time proof-reading, maybe you don't give a fuck about that, if you lneed anyone to proof-read for you, i'd be glad to help so long as the work isn't too long, I hate to have any of my work altered but it doesn't look as though you have read this for errors. If you fell it's as it should be I apologise, i am meerly thinking of the time i spend correcting my own work. Overall I liked the style and the subject matter and charachters were easily enough to keep me going. Nice. " -- Iain Spittles, UK.
"Most impressive. Not really poetic...but interesting. I don't regret reading it. And I wouldn't take an offer on proofing from someone whose misspellings in one paragraph outnumber the citizens of most third world countries." -- Bennett.
"Zeek think Hazzard stupid. Zeek know Hazzard sleep with barnyard cows. No like Hazzard. Hazzard steal Zeek goat. Zeek lose farm. Zeek so sad, Zeek put out own eyes. Zeek move to big city, drive yellow car round. Zeek find Hazzard, Zeek bash with rock." -- Zeek The Blind NYC Taxi Driver.
