There are lots and lots and lots and lots of others, but these people had the tenacity to email me directly instead of assuming I would stumble across it in the Eminem/Chrysler/RoboCop/Pistons/1-8-7 Scheiße-pile that is currently Facebook and Twitter, and I happen to be of the mindset that hard work and perseverance should be rewarded (at least that's what I keep telling myself).
PS, Detroit, you need a hobby.
