For a writer (or at least an un-famous one), seeing something you wrote mentioned in a publication you read regularly is a thrill. I mentioned Word Wide Words  recently as a great site about the English language, and in his April 21 newsletter , its creator, Michael Quinion, said thanks.
It's not much, but I'm pleased nevertheless.
