I'm sorry you find "gushing" so appalling. It would be nice to think it was just the word "gushing" you find so appalling, but it's obvious that's not what you mean.

You asked for an email from someone who's actually "gushed" -- well, here it is.

I don't and didn't call it "gushing" though. That's all I'll say since it's appalling to you.

But I'll be glad to answer any questions. I'm not ashamed of something I had no control over.

love,
