There's brief moments of time when I listen to the two of you go back and forth and for a minute, I'm like, man, I'm not even here anymore.

And I feel ever so slightly sad, but then I continue to listen to you two going back and forth and I just don't even care anymore because I'm entertained as hell.

We had recently received an email as recently as about two hours ago about how we say to each other or say actually to you, the listener, please email anyone other than us.

Or please don't send us email, et cetera. Would you like to talk a little more about this email?

All right. So the first sentence is, I'm a little surprised about your whole email topic. Now this is already kind of like spreading the topic wider because this started with Marco getting specific feedback and bug reports about overcast, right?

But then this sort of expanded into like the entire topic of us getting email. And so this feedback is not about Marco and his bug reports really.

It's really about when we say on the show, please don't email us about whatever. Right. So I already think this is kind of off topic. And it's just like it's related to the discussion, but whatever.

We want to this. It's not interested in really discussing how Marco handle his feedback. He's more interested in discussing the joke that we do when we say, please don't send us email.

And he says it makes him feel like that we don't appreciate the listeners that, you know, I'm trying to get sentence here. He says he loves us loves a show.

It doesn't make me feel entitled to anything. I know that obviously and I know that it's possible to get back to everybody. But what is it impossible is to appreciate your position to appreciate the fact that people devote their time to actually tell you what they think to appreciate that people are the are the ones that are tracking sponsors, etc.

To appreciate that a podcast by net pickers is going to attract net pickers to appreciate that so many people really care.

And now you do appreciate your listeners, but the whole email joke, the whole annoyance is neither funny nor respectful. It's strange off putting very arrogant and makes me kind of angry.

It makes my engagement feel pathetic and needy. It's really not that hard just to say a few nice words, you know.

To this, I would say that we don't have a ignoring the fact that most of the time we're just joking, right, because jokes could be hurtful too, right.

We don't have a blanket ban on email. We don't say it's like a prohibition. Please. In fact, we encourage tacitly encourage email by responding to email on the show. And a lot of the follow up is about things that people send us do.

Corrections for things are expansions on topics. We take real time feedback and real time follow up from the chat room from people saying the same thing.

Right. So it's clear that we're not like nobody ever emails anything, you know, for whatever reason. We don't say that.

I mean, there's a feedback form on our site that I made when we made the site.

Like we have this form on the site that says send feedback. If we wanted to not actually receive any feedback, we would just take the form down.

Like Marco, like if I go on his app doesn't want to apply that he's providing support. He just provides the feedback.

I think so that first of all, I would say the premise of the idea that we just are saying we don't want any feedback.

Like that's not that's not our message at all. We do very frequently, though, say, please don't email us about whatever topic.
