I was surfing the net, looking for Viper pictures and was extremely surprised to [find] such a wonderful collection of different URLs. You truly deserve the honor of top 5%.

Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Hello there. I'm just learning about the WWW and somehow (it must be fate) I found your home page under Harrison Ford. I drive a 1966 candy apple red Mustang convertible and my favorite book is GWTW. It was interesting learning about you.

Hello,

I am preparing a speech for [Company name] and I came across your English paper regarding Immigration. I agree with your thesis and anxiously await to read your slant on the topic.

Your wit also comes through on your Web page and you come across as a very genuine and warm person.

Cheers to you,

Subject: thesis research

Hello, I just found your immigration poll and paper. I'm a graduate student at the [University] and I'm working on my graduate thesis this summer on the use of the Internet as a political communications tool. One of the foreign policy issues that I'm studying in relation to this is immigration and I was wondering if I could incorporate the research you have done into my thesis - fully documented of course. Please let me know how you feel about this.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tracy M.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting your immigration paper. It helped me a lot on my 5 paragraph essay on immigration policy for my [College name] English class. Great page!!

Subject: hi

Well, Mr. Kelman, you succeeded in diverting me from my all important goal of searching for information for a huge paper on immigration that I'm writing. I came to you through a search of immigration and labor, and ended up with your site/essay. I had to see who it was so here we are. I just wanted to say that your essay is beautiful and moving, but somewhat incomplete. I noticed that you cited Borjas, which was good, but you left out Huddle and Briggs. When I came into this project, I first felt that all of those in opposition to immigration were terrible racists and that there was no evidence to justify their view. Now, after reading 8 books, 25 specialized journal articles, 3 personal interviews, etc., I realize that there is some merit to their claim that the current wave of immigration is having a negative impact. Mainly it's because the majority of immigrants coming here are unskilled (unlike you and your family) and the low skilled workers who are being displaced bear the brunt of it. This is not to say that there are contributions made by immigrants that are simply economic, as anyone who has ever eaten in a Mexican restaurant will tell you. It does enrich the culture, and that's something that can't be measured. Anyway, sorry to digress, but just so you know that probably the US should implement a quota system based on skill level so that no particular group of Americans have to suffer for it.

Dear Mr. Kelman,

I note with interest your article on Machiavelli as fortune teller or futurist.

I am preparing a volume for [Publisher's name] entitled Reinventing Machiavelli: the Man, His Critics and the Future of Cities.

I would like to include your paper in that volume, just the way it is.

Best wishes,
Gary G.

Mr. Kelman,

I am a sixteen year old that was in desperate need for information to write a research paper. Your ideas on Russia and Machiavelli are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for your views and I look forward to visiting your Web-site again!

Sincerely,
Brian Robert S.

Subject: Machiavelli

Hi,

I'm a science student at [University].

This summer I take a course in Machiavelli, (not as a part of my studies in science), and I would like to draw your attention to some things concerning Machiavelli.

First Machiavelli was not first with the idea of cycles in the government of a state it can be found in the works of the Greek historian (and Roman slave) Polybius.

Second Polybius was ahead of Machiavelli also in the theory of that the best, most stable, government is a mixed government containing parts of monarchic, aristocratic and democratic governments.

P.J.

Subject: Machiavelli, I guess

Enjoyed your article, even though at times it seemed primitivistic and overly excited (especially since the next step is anarchy). Nice work with the quotations.

Keep it up!

A friend of mine was looking for a number for the "dessert of the month club" (and not "desert of the month" like we were looking for at first) and we finally found it thanks to your collection of 800#s! Thanks bunches!

Subject: A small request

I enjoyed visiting your Absolutely Wonderful Universe and wish you the best of luck. However, I would like to make a very small request. Your list of 800 numbers includes [Company name], which has cheated thousands of American consumers of hundreds to thousands of dollars each and I thought if you knew about this you would not give them a free plug on your web site. Thanks.
