One
particular email from Tim, a guy I've known for quite some time, is pretty
long, so I've placed it on a separate page. I can’t say that his e-mail
is typical of what I get from MrB readers, but there are many cases of
people who have been profoundly affected by the stories I write, especially
those about Cody and his friends, which are all based on fact. Click here
to read Tim's letter.
Hi Mr.B, I'm Michael H., just back from a long trip and vacation. Sorry that I wasn't able to write you earlier a thank-you letter for letting me stay as member of your site for another year. I missed Mr.B's 4th. anniversary because I was still abroad then. It's quite late but not least to wish you a Happy Anniversary and many years to come with your enjoyable mrbstories. You're really a great stories-teller, Mr.B! I still enjoy reading your stories and at this moment certainly my favourite is The Codeman story, which one I'm already behind with the reading due to my trip. Besides the reading I enjoy too the fabulous graphics, thanks to Steve which he from time to time has created with such gifted and artistic skill, pleasant for the eyes. Just like adding the right seasoning so it makes tasty. Again Happy Anniversary and alot of success! Greetings, Michael.
Hi Gary - Thank you. After a brief time on your site I have to say that I am gobsmacked. It is a real privilege to be able to share so much with your youngsters. Well done with EXCELLENT layout and genuine content.
thank you

Hi Gary, Just wanted to tell you how cool it is to be reading Codeman, it actually feels like I am re-reading past memories. I know it sounds odd, but this is what I was living on when I just joined your site, the Wingnut tales, but different, because it is Cody. It's really hard to explain, so I won't try because I can't do it justice. Just Thanks.
With Respect,
Wizid
I've been meaning to write since you first started the codeman series. Before I forget, I want to say thanks a HEAP for sharing your relationship with Cody from the start. It may be painful for you to go over this again, but you're right; the life and friendship he had with you was out of this world and I'm really thankful you're willing to share with us. Your writing is great, as usual, in bringing to life Cody as he was growing up.
What a remarkable guy he was, so open and real with you and his close friends. Hell, I NEVER talked about beating off with my friends then, and we only made jeering remarks about popping hardons at inopportune times. I was so into playing the field with girls from age 12 on that I really didn't think about sexual activities with my male friends until the first incidents with my best friend from childhood much later on. But that's another story entirely.
Cody was so remarkable and at ease with his sexual and personal feelings with both sexes, especially at his age. What a kind and loving guy he was. Wish I could have had someone like him at that age; It would have made growing up a lot easier, not to mention much more fun!
Keep the great stories coming.
Bill
Gary:
Have been reading the Cody stories (and having read everything else on your site in the past, which puts these in perspective) and, for the first time I can say that I really understand what a very special guy Cody was and how much you meant to each other.
I can only imagine the depth of loss you felt when he died, but now understand why it has taken you so long to recover.
Keep up the stories... they will help you and, I am certain, they are helping others as well.
And, for what it's worth... I once told you that I looked forward every morning to the latest chapter of Daniel, Mark, Wingnut or whoever... well, that feeling is back! Thanks for sharing Cody with us!
Keep it up! (No pun intended.)

PS: Just renewed my membership for the upteenth
time.
I have written to you before telling you how Cody's story made me cry. Mark and Wingnut I read first as was suggested, and Daniel's stories among others.
I have been excited, hurt, loved, amazed, and happy so many times.
The boys from South Africa have touched so many in many different ways.
You are a great writer to bring them all to life as they are and I again think you for sharing your stories with me and others.
I still feel the sadness of Cody's passing as i am sure so many that never knew him except through your stories do, the people that knew him have had a rare experience.
Bless them and you Mr B
Thomas
Hey, Mr. B:
I discovered your site about a month ago and have been so addicted to it I have to have a daily fix or my day is not complete. You are a really good writer, and I love your point of view. I am about two-thirds through Daniel's Diary -- fascinating. Have you ever committed any of your work to hard print? Keep up the good work and thanks.

Hi Mr B
Your stories have really touched my heart. At times I found myself hard and smiling, some times tears of joy, sometimes tears of shared pain. You truly seem to know the hearts of teens and of the lost peeps that don't know who they are or what they are. Where were you and Cody when I was trying to figure that out. Why weren't you there to teach me that I didn't need to label myself for others? That I didn't need to be str8, gay, or bi? That I could just be Bob and that that was ok. My teachers about Love taught me all the wrong things. They taught me to be closed. They taught me to hide my feelings. They taught me to be suspicious of every one and that Love would only stab me in the back. Fuck all of that. We all need Love anywhere we can get it and the more the better. Even the net. I have found very special peeps on the net and some real Love. I found Cody. I found Lance. True Cody is gone now and Lance is leaving me, but where would I have been without them having touched my heart and taught me to Love and accept Bob for who he is?
Thank you for being the writer you are, and for sharing your gift with us. Thank you for allowing me to get to know Cody even better than I did, and for realising that I was special. Thank you for helping me to realise that I'm not alone and that it is ok to be me and that I don't need a label other than Bob.
I'm not sure I have said what I wanted to but I hope you can read between the lines and know that you are special. Thanks bro... I have no idea who the fuck you are, but you are in my heart.
CYA,
Bob
OK, that’ll do for now. I don’t want to bore you stupid with a zillion testimonials. But that’s the kinda feedback I get, and there are members who have been with me right from the start, over four years ago. So I must be doing something right!
