You want to hear about an incredibly nice gesture?

Background: for a couple of years in the early 2000s I was an off-and-on volunteer on the Christgau website: proofreading, retyping articles, factchecking, etc. Long hours sometimes, but self-imposed because it was mostly a lot of fun. Today I got a Christmas card in the mail from RC, with this message: "I never thought robertchristgau.com would add directly to my income. But now that it has, via Rhapsody, I wanted to share a tiny bit of it with you. Thanks for all your generous work." Enclosed was a tidy little check. Now wouldn't you agree that that's an incredibly nice gesture?

I'm glad to hear it, Allen. It's always nice to hear about people you admire performing acts of kindness like that. I don't know, but I assume Christgau doesn't make insane amounts of money, so sending some to you when you didn't expect it strikes me as especially generous. Congrats.
