Just got into his podcast. Used to read his column on The Stranger and Village Voice regularly, but kinda got tired of it after awhile. Still occasionally read it.
Nice to come back to. He's a very smart, thoughtful guy who gives good advice, and you learn a lot about the wide wide world out there.
My wife, who is somewhat less kink-aware than I am, actually started listening to the podcast before I did, a couple weeks ago. She's told me that though she finds it interesting, she can only listen to it for a few minutes at a time because after awhile her ears just start burning. I've told her that it might be smart to go back in Dan's archives and pick things up earlier. When I started listening to it I basically dl'd all the available editions and started from the beginning, and the earlier podcasts seem to be 'milder' than the columns I remember reading more recently.

Bing Cashback ripped me off.
I made two purchases a couple months ago, and Bing has not been able to credit me for them.
I contacted their tech support people. The story I got from them was that there is/was apparently some glitch in their account setup process involving customers who used comcast.net e-mail addresses as their contact addresses. They (I dealt with several different care reps) seemed to think that sending me repeated 'sign up for Cashback' links instructing me to go through the signup process again would fix the problem.
I tried this several times and the problem has yet to be resolved.
Finally, I just gave up and told them to leave me alone and stop contacting me unless it was to tell me that the situation was resolved and there was now $$ in my Bing Cashback account.
That was, I guess, a couple weeks ago now. This has been going on for at least a couple months I think.
Anyway, I looked again today, and my Bing Cashback account is still all 0s.
Bing Cashback has thus to me proven to be a waste of time and a ripoff. I will avoid using it in the future, and would advise others to do so as well.
