King of the world

King of the world

This is so cool.

I was very moved by the post from Salon that I, uh, borrowed.

So I emailed the author, and told him:

To: king@salon.com

Subject: Flag

Mr. King,

Thank you for giving words to the feelings I have inside.

I was so moved by your writing, I copied it, and posted it at my own site.

Hope that's okay. I included links to the original, and a mailto: link to you.

You've moved a lot of people. If you want to read their comments, they are here: http://www.wilwheaton.net/greymatter/archives/00000054/*.php#comments

Sincerely and admiringly,

Wil Wheaton

See, I would have just included the link to Salon, but I think that people are more likely to read something that's right in front of them, rather than click a link, and I really wanted all of you to see this.

Here's the cool thing: King wrote back:

Wil,

Thanks. As you note on your site, our lawyers (actually, our person in

charge of rights and syndication -- we can't really afford lawyers these

days) frown on this sort of thing, but I found your Web site so charming

and fun that I won't tell them if you won't.

Cheers.

Isn't that cool?!

So here's the deal. Don't tell anyone, okay?
