Everyone loves to be interviewed!
Exactly! Yeah, this particular email cracked me up, but I also thought it was pretty smart.

I actually do interviews - either live with a digital recorder or through email. And I have an active forum, so my users are generating original content every single day. There are lots of ways to get other people to write unique content for your site - this particular approach was just a new one to me.
