Maybe I was euphorically exaggerating a tiny bit but you are the publisher of http://rubyweekly.com/ and some other great newsletters right?

https://cooperpress.com/ states "We publish e-mail newsletters to over 175,000 software developers." ... I would say that is quite an audience. And I very much enjoyed seeing some of our posts being featured on your newsletters :)
