Notes From The Editors
We'll Be There

Dear Reader,

"Why does Q Fever! care so much?"

Since we published our very first issue way back in June 2000, we've received this question countless many times from intelligent, earnest, and curiously attractive people much like yourself.

You, Dear Reader, may even be one of the hundreds, indeed, thousands, who have written to us already!

And we're proud to say that we personally read each and every one of these messages, with more than a little joy in our hearts (or at least in that part of our limbic systems that deals with rapidly fleeting emotions).

Why do we care? Why should we care?

Why should we care about strangers, anonymous strangers, whom we'll never meet, never talk to, never have a purely physical relationship with?

Why indeed!!

The answer's simple, Clara (if you don't mind us calling you that).

Q Fever! wants to be your friend. Your best friend.

Your only friend.

The one you turn to when you need someone to play racquetball with, and the one whose shoulder you cry on when your hamster buys it.

More importantly, we want to be the friend you think of when you need to quickly dispose of large sums of legally obtained cash.

Aside from those few things (and we were just kidding about the racquetball and the hamster), we hope you have other people, like good acquaintances, you can turn to.

But we'll be there when it really, truly matters. From our perspective, that is.

And that's our pledge to you, Dear Reader!

Sincerely,

The Editors
