Hello, I thought this story would be entertaining so I decided to share. :)

About two weeks ago I was checking my empty website, void of any activity but my own, logging into the system as 'administrator' and reveiwing my daily web traffic. Most of the time people spend '< 1min' on my website, but on that day I had somebody visit my website for over 20 minutes. This was an unusual find, a first for me, since my websites never really take off from more than 10 members and this one only has two. Intrigued, I looked over the person's history on the website and found they had been looking at my "Contacts" page for 7 minutes. From there I decided to check my e-mail.
The first thing I noticed when I logged into my e-mail was a letter from somebody with a full name, something that spam mail doesn't normally contain. I quick-viewed the message to tell if the first paragraph actually was for me. What I found was pretty amazing.
You see, my website has about a thousand references to my e-mail address because I really want to help people out with their autographs. Dispite all of the various portal links, nobody has ever e-mailed me for help. When I saw the first few sentences of the message it was clear to me this had everything to do with autographs.
As it turns out, a soldier in Afghanistan was asking for my help in getting a Peyton Manning autograph for his friend back in America! I replied to the message and felt really happy I could help.

I know, it is kind of funny how I just randomly checked my inbox and bam, there it was!
Recently I have helped three people on fanmail.biz who saw this topic and my website!
:D
